Safety for you and your children is a top priority at your electric co-op. Kids don’t always know—or remember—what can be dangerous, so it’s up to all of us to watch out for them. Safety rules for power lines:
- Don’t plant trees or install tall playground equipment under or near power lines.
- Don’t build treehouses in trees near electric lines.
- Don’t allow children to climb trees near power lines.
- Teach your children to always look up to check for power lines before climbing trees or any tall objects.
- Keep children away from ladders and equipment that may be near power lines.
- And the Number 1 safety rule for everyone to remember:
- Never touch a power line or anything that’s touching a power line. Look up and live!
Bandera Electric Cooperative encourages you to always practice safety.
