Summer is a great time for children to be outside exploring and playing... Help them safe on their adventures by teaching them about electrical and natural gas safety.

If you are enjoying a breezy day flying a kite together, make sure that you are in a large open area, far away from overhead hydro power lines.

Never use metallic wires as a kite string. Metallic balloons and model airplanes should be kept away from overhead lines

There is no denying that children are climbers but teach them to stay away from the fences that surround electrical substations

The fences are there to keep people away from the dangerous high voltage equipment inside a local community power substation

Speaking of climbing, children should never ever climb on trees that are close to utility power lines. Nor should they climb utility poles. The only people allowed to climb should be the trained power utility employees
