The Commission do not have any locus on the matter of electric fencing (or fencing in general) and as such we do not have any information on the regulations or standards. However, we are aware that it is an accepted agricultural practice to use electric fencing to contain animals as an alternative to conventional fencing. Our understanding is that appropriate signage should be in place where it is being used. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) may be able to provide advice and guidance on this matter.
