Don’t Toy With Your Safety

When you are playing outdoors, keep a safe distance from power lines, substations, and other equipment Sam Houston Electric Cooperative uses to send electricity to your home. Flying remote controlled toys are a great way to have fun, but accidentally making contact with a power line or other electrical equipment can be dangerous and in some cases, even deadly.

• Never fly kites, or remote-controlled toys near power lines.
• Stay away from power lines, meters, transformers, and electrical boxes.
• Never climb trees near power lines.
• If you get something stuck in a power line or inside a substation, call the Co-op.
• Never touch or go near a downed power line.
