Safety Resources for Our Community
We are a member of the national Safe Electricity program, which gives us access to a wealth of information and resources to further educate you.
Education for our community, employees, members and youth is one of our seven guiding principles.
Spreading the Message, One Platform at a Time
In addition to safety training for employees, your cooperative is continuously raising awareness of electrical safety in our communities. A few ways you may find our electrical safety messaging include:
- Hearing how to stay safe around overhead lines while listening to your favorite radio station in your car or streaming it on your phone.
- Reading how to keep your children safe from deadly shocks around boat docks from an ad in your local paper, cooperative newsletter or statewide publication.
- Seeing how important it is to call before you dig from digital ads or social media.
- Witnessing a live demonstration at a local co-op member meeting to learn you should stay in your car if you have an accident involving power lines.
