Electricity is all around you. It is the most common energy source and is very powerful. Every year, thousands of electrical hazards cause injury and death – most of which could be prevented.

Avoiding situations that allow your body to conduct electricity is critical. Grant PUD encourages everyone to play it safe by following these electrical safety tips inside, outside and at work.
