With your boat, make sure your masts stay well clear of power lines.
Pay attention to where you place metal ladders or dig for fence posts. Before you start any project, always look up and avoid overhead power lines. Keep a minimum of 10 feet between you and overhead lines.
If you are planning a project that requires digging, remember to dial “811” first to find out if the area you will be working in is clear of underground power lines.
Power tools should be kept away from wet surfaces, and outlets should not be overloaded.
Children should never climb trees near power lines — always assume a wire is live.
Fly kites and remote-controlled airplanes in large open areas like a park or a field, safely away from trees and overhead power lines.
At the pool, electrical devices, such as stereos, should be kept at least 10 feet away from water sources, and outdoor electrical outlets should always be covered. If you hear a rumble of thunder, exit the pool right away.
If you find yourself outdoors during a thunderstorm, move toward suitable shelter with covered sides, and stick to low-lying ground if possible.
