Working near power lines

Keep your distance

Working around a power line can result in serious injury or death. Assume all power lines are energized, not insulated and dangerous!

Downed power lines

Always assume low and downed power lines are energized, not insulated and dangerous.

Never attempt to move any power line. You can be seriously hurt or killed if the object you are holding or standing on contacts any power line.  Stay away.
