Be Safe. Stay Alive & Healthy with PMLD's Safety Tips.
Electricity is an incredible convenience in our lives. It makes so many things possible—from your phone to lighting your home. Follow the rules—and electricity is safe. Ignore the rules...and you're asking for trouble.
Safety is our top priority at PMLD. Here are sources for Safety Tips that will help keep you and your family well and happy.
DO THIS BEFORE YOU DIG.
Call before you dig! CALL DIGSAFE BY DIALING 811. It's the law.
Homeowners and even some contractors can make risky assumptions about whether or not they should get their utility lines marked. But every digging job requires a call—even small projects like planting trees and shrubs.
The depth of utility lines varies. And there may be multiple utility lines in a common area. Call 72 hours in advance of digging and a DigSafe representative will send out someone to mark underground facilities.
PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING AT LEAST 72 HOURS IN ADVANCE:
Call DIGSAFE by Dialing 811.
ASK OSHA.
OSHA, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration offers great safety tips and a lot of expertise in the field.
Electrical hazards and carelessness can cause burns, shocks and electrocution.
SAFETY FOR KIDS.
The Electrical Safety Foundation Institute has a great corner of their website called "Kids' Corner". It's loaded with interactive lessons, activities and videos aimed at keeping your children safe.
Share it with your family here. Stay safe, healthy and alive.
