CHILD SAFETY TIPS …

  • Never touch electrical outlets with your fingers or objects.
  • Do not put your fingers in a light bulb socket.
  • Never play with electrical cords, wires or switches and keep them away from heat and water.
  • Don’t place electrical cords where people may trip on them.
  • Don’t pull on cords to unplug them, take of plug and pull from outlet.
  • Never play around electrical wires or equipment
  • If you are in the bathtub, shower or standing on a wet floor, never touch anything electrical like a light switch or hair dryer.
  • Never climb utility poles, transmission towers or fences around substations.
  • Stay away from areas marked "DANGER – HIGH VOLTAGE"
  • Keep away from electrical utility boxes (those large green boxes). They contain high-voltage equipment that can kill you if you play with them.
  • If climbing a tree, stay away from those that are near power lines.
  • Never throw objects at wires or hydro poles.
  • Never poke wires or branches into electrical equipment boxes
  • Keep your kite away from power lines.
  • Never use wire or metal on kites.
  • If your kite does happen to get caught on a hydro line, please leave it alone and call or have an adult call us at 326-7315.
  • If there is a thunderstorm, do not go under a tree – lightning can strike you through the tree. Go indoors.
  • If power lines have fallen on your car, stay in the car because the rubber tires on your car stop the electricity from passing through it.
  • In the winter, especially after heavy snowfalls when the plows bank the snow high, be careful on the banks under power lines - the high banks can get very close to live power lines.


Remember - electricity always takes the path easiest to the ground and we don't want that path to be you!!
