Stay Away. Stay Safe.

Electrical sites and equipment are dangerous and can pose serious risks to your health and safety.

Unfortunately, sometimes electrical sites are accessed by unauthorized individuals, often in an attempt to steal copper ground wire. Removing ground wire creates an extremely dangerous situation for both the thieves as well as our employees who come to work on those sites.

We want people to be safe. So please stay away from electrical sites and equipment that could hurt or even kill you. Only people who have been properly trained and who are wearing the right safety equipment are permitted to access electrical sites.

Even if you think you are familiar with or experienced in electrical equipment, do not enter electrical sites unless you have been granted permission to do so. You are putting yourself and others at significant risk.

We all have a role to play in keeping each other safe.

Please stay away from electrical sites and equipment and help us ensure that everyone goes home safely at the end of the day.
