  • Always assume any electric line is carrying power.
  • Never touch downed power lines or use any object to move them. Consider every power line or wire on the ground to be energized and dangerous even if not sparking. Although wood is not conductive, if even slightly wet it will conduct electricity and cause a shock.
  • Never drive over fallen power lines; they can get attached to your vehicle causing electrocution.
  • When working under or near power lines, ensure a safe distance, at least 3.5 meters, away from the line. Be careful when carrying long metal objects close to electrical conductors.
  • Install antennas far from power lines.
  • Do not attempt to cut or trim trees that are in contact or could touch power lines. Contact us for assistance.
  • Teach kids to never fly kites or other flying objects near power lines and never attempt to remove items caught on an overhead line.
  • Keep outdoor outlets and electrical products covered and dry.
  • If an electrical product falls into a pool or pond, unplug it before you reach into the water.
  • Never climb power poles, towers or substation fences. If you have lost something over a substation fence, call us to retrieve it for you.
