Tips To Keep You & Your Family Safe

There are many simple things you can do to stay safe around electricity, whether you're at home, at work or on the farm.

Downed Powerline

Use Caution Around Power Lines

Always be aware of your surroundings. If you see downed power lines, please contact your local Touchstone Energy® Cooperative and remain at a safe distance of at least 30 feet until the area has been cleared by authorities.

Never touch anything or anyone that has been in contact with a power line to reduce your risk of serious injury or death.

If your vehicle comes in contact with a power line, call 911 immediately and remain in the vehicle until instructed to leave by emergency personnel. Keep others from approaching the vehicle and instruct them to stay at least 30 feet away.
