For Parents and Kids
Power Line Safety
Always treat overhead power lines as if they were energized. Overhead power lines must always be considered un-insulated and getting too close or contacting them will result in electric shock.
Parents and Electrical Safety
- Protect your children by using appropriately designed plastic plugs to block access to electrical outlets.
- Protect your children and pets by preventing them from chewing on electrical cords.
- Ensure your children understand danger signs and teach them to never touch power lines or any electrical equipment.
Kids and Electrical Safety
- Never touch a power line because touching a power line can be deadly.
- Do not climb trees that are near power lines.
- Fences around electric substations are to keep people away from possible danger. Never enter a substation. If a ball is accidentally thrown into a substation do not try to get it. Contact us immediately for assistance.
- Do not climb electrical poles.
Kites, Model Planes and Tree Houses
- Fly your kites and model planes in open parks or fields away from power lines.
- If your kite or model plane gets tangled in a power line, do not try to get it. Contact us immediately for assistance.
- If building a tree house, choose a tree that is not growing near power lines.
