Southwest Electric conducts safety programs for all school-aged children. Our employees demonstrate safety around electricity:
- electricity and water do not mix
- stay away from power lines
- get help from an adult around appliances
- play sports away from power lines
- stay away from substations
- call Southwest Electric if an object gets stuck on power lines
Southwest Electric employees also show some of the safety and climbing equipment. Students see the hooks and super-squeeze the linemen use to climb poles, the gloves and hardhats they wear and the tools they use to fix the lines.
If your school or organization is interested in a Southwest Electric safety program, please contact Mitchell Smith at 601-437-1357 or msmith@swepa.coop.
