Injuries caused by electricity Burns Muscle paralysis Nerve damage Cardiac arrest

Basic Safety Tips Never climb electric poles or transformers Do not fly kites or model airplanes around power lines Look for power lines before using ladders

Basic Safety Tips Call 1-800-MISSDIG before digging in yard. The utility companies will come and mark underground lines for free. Do not overload electrical outlets.

Basic Safety Tips Follow all workplace safety guidelines for using electricity. Keep appliances away from water. Never touch or approach downed power lines.
