Electrical Safety
Accidental contact with electricity usually results in serious life threatening injuries, even death. Such occurrences can be minimized if the following precautions are taken when working near power lines:
- Assume all overhead and downed power lines are live and dangerous
- Keep objects at least 10 feet away from power lines
- Inspect surroundings before operating equipment to avoid interference with power lines
- Do not attempt to raise or move power lines
- Report any damaged electrical equipment or downed lines to us here at Hart EMC immediately
- If you plan to dig, call the Utility Protection Center at 1-800-282-7411 at least 3 days before you start.
