We've had six electric poles damaged or snapped this year. Thankfully, there have been no fatal injuries.
Safety for our members and our employees is one of our guiding principals. While we know no one plans to get in an accident, there are steps you can take to prevent potentially fatal contact:
⚠ When operating equipment, give electric poles, lines, and utility boxes ample space.
⚠ Always stay aware of electrical equipment and doublecheck before backing up, folding and unfolding wings, or moving augers.
⚠ If you do hit electrical equipment, stay in the vehicle and call 911. Wait for rescue services to tell you it is safe to exit. Your equipment or the ground may be energized, and could lead to electrocution.
