At Home

LOOK UP LOOK OUT LOCATE

Safety Starts At Home

Home owners who are busy maintaining their property become focused on the task at hand, and frequently disregard their immediate environment. Many of these individuals encounter high voltage wires with tragic results.

Overhead

Cleaning out eaves troughs, pruning trees, erecting flag poles, decorating for the holidays and painting are all seasonal activities that require precautions. Always check the location of overhead wires in relation to where you are working.

Regardless of the activity, safety is a practice for all seasons.

SAFETY TIP: Always carry your ladder horizontally, it’s easier on your back, and much safer. When you buy a ladder, consider those made of fiberglass or wood. They do not conduct electricity as well as aluminum.

Underground

Digging on your property also requires caution. Because of the depth of underground wires, you won’t encounter them planting flowers and shrubs. However, before digging post holes, deck supports or anything that needs to go below the frost line, always check with your local electric distributing company (LDC), for the location of underground high voltage wires.
