Don't Let Fall Trip You Up!

As we transition from summer to fall, it is always important to keep your electrical safety in mind. This means properly retiring your electrical devices for next year and making sure your winter appliances are in optimal condition.

Check power tools for unusual wear and tear on power cords.

Use only weatherproof electrical devices for outside devices

Keep dry leaves away from outdoor lighting, outlets and power
cords

Unplug and safely store battery chargers that won't be in use again until spring.

SUMMER ELECTRICAL SAFETY FOR KIDS

1. Instruct children to stay away from all utility lines, especially playing with a fallen line.

2. NEVER play or hang around electric utility boxes or substations. If a toy gets stuck inside any substations, transmission equipment, or electrical equipment, forbid them from entering to retrieve the toy.

3. Do NOT climb trees that are near power lines, even if the branches are touching. If the branches touch, you could end up electrocuted.

4. Fly kites and toy planes far away from power lines and leave anything if it lands on a wire.

5. Stay at least 40 feet away from all power lines and call 911 immediately. The ground can be energized up to 35 feet away or through any water that is in contact with a downed line.

6. Summer showers can bring more than tempting puddles for kids to splash in, they can also leave electric hazards behind. Flooded areas are never safe spots to wade or play in, and may be in contact with energized electrical equipment or fallen power lines.

7. Make sure children know how to read and recognize signs that read “high voltage,” “danger,” “keep out,” and “caution.”

8. Teach children that they should alert the authorities to a downed power line or other potentially “live” electrical equipment and stay far away (at least 40 feet away).

9. Stop playing outdoors if you see lighting or hear thunder.
