DIGGING in
KNOW WHAT LIES WHERE ON YOUR PROPERTY, AND KEEP WORKERS SAFE
If you’re paying someone to do serious digging on your property, such as putting in fence posts, are you as the property owner responsible for ensuring they don’t cut through any underground cables? Or does that responsibility lie with the person doing the digging? If you have contracted someone to dig reasonably deep holes on your property as part of a building or fencing project, they will want to know where the major cables and pipes pass underground. This especially applies to electric cables, which could kill someone who cuts through them. If you don’t know for certain, the contractor will normally require you to get a plan of where your sewer and stormwater pipes lie. This is free from the council. You will also need to find out where your phone cables lie, if they are buried on your property. Most importantly, you will need to call your electricity supplier to find out where the electric cables are buried. If they aren’t certain, your contractor may insist you hire someone to come to your property and find out where they are. This may cost you around about $130.
Can you drink nonalcoholic beer all night and still drive? Non-alcoholic beer may have up to 0.05% alcohol by volume. If you drink to a reasonable but not extreme level, say 5- 6 glasses in one sitting, you should still pass a drinkdriving test. This is not to be confused with lowalcohol beer though, which can have up to 1.2% alcohol by volume. If you were to drink low-alcohol beer all night you do risk being over the limit if tested by the police. Nonalcoholic beer has an extremely low alcohol level. You could say it’s alcohol free but the law requires brewers to describe their product extremely accurately. Given some alcohol forms as part of the brewing process it can’t be completely eliminated and this is why you see on many bottles of non-alcohol beer that they may contain up to 0.05% alcohol by volume.
Manufacturers have two ways of reducing alcohol content in beer. They can remove alcohol from the finished product or make sure it doesn’t form during brewing by boiling away the alcohol or passing the beer through a filter.
