Look up, stay alert during outdoor work, play

As the weath­er begins to warm up, kids and adults alike will soon head out­side to per­form win­ter clean-up and play. Before they do, remind them to look up and be alert for pow­er lines and oth­er elec­tri­cal haz­ards, the best way to stay safe from death by elec­tro­cu­tion.

“Here at YEC, using prop­er pro­ce­dures and safe­ty mea­sures is a mat­ter of life and death,” explains co-op Vice Pres­i­dent of Ener­gy Deliv­ery, Den­ny Lynn. “We take safe­ty seri­ous­ly at home, too. Acci­dents hap­pen, but if we edu­cate our­selves and our chil­dren, we can keep them to a min­i­mum.”

YEC offers free safe­ty demon­stra­tions at schools through­out our ser­vice area in an effort to teach impor­tant elec­tri­cal safe­ty lessons to stu­dents. Teach­ers, to sched­ule a safe­ty demon­stra­tion, call YEC’s mar­ket­ing and pub­lic rela­tions depart­ment at (803) 628‑5541 or use the safe­ty demon­stra­tion request form here.
