Safety

First

Safety should always come first whenever you are around electricity. Here are some essential safety tips for you, your family and your business.

  1. Stay away from downed power lines and broken utility poles. Notify us immediately whenever you see one.
  2. Make sure your children understand the danger of downed power lines. Have them visit our online Kids Korner for fun and informative safety lessons.
  3. Never attempt to remove trees or limbs from power lines. Call us.
  4. If you use a back-up generator to provide electricity for your home, farming operation, or other business, you could injure or kill a utility worker who is working on the line if it is not installed properly. Contact Carroll EMC for assistance in installing and operating back-up generators.
  5. Electricity and water don't mix. Never touch anything electrical while standing in water or while in the bathtub or shower.
