EMEPA

Spring means breaking out the pressure washers & power tools, but water & electricity are a dangerous combination. Always keep electrical devices, cords & connections away from puddles, wet grass & water sources.⚠️Never operate power equipment in the rain. Stay dry. Stay safe!⚡

🌳Whether you're carrying a ladder, moving pool equipment, using limb cutters or trimming trees, scan your work area for overhead lines. If a tree branch is touching or near a power line, never attempt to trim it yourself. Contact EMEPA to get assistance. Stay alert, stay safe.

Planning spring projects around the house? Before you set up that ladder, remember the critical 10-ft rule. Always maintain 10 ft of clearance from power lines when using ladders. Position your ladder on solid ground & keep it at the proper angle (1 ft out for every 4 ft up).⚠️
