SAFETY DEMONSTRATIONS

It is important to Chariton Valley Electric Cooperative and all of our employees to help kids learn how dangerous electricity can be if it is not respected. Our program helps them understand why it's important to take precautions around electricity. Presenters and kids have fun interacting and exchanging questions and answers.

Students are instructed on:

• Historical electricity facts

• Safety precautions around electricity

• Safe use of electricity

• Safety around electrical poles, downed power lines, and utility substations

• The importance of staying away from power lines during outdoor activities such as kite-flying or climbing trees is also stressed
