At work or at play, safety outside matters even in your own backyard. Whether it’s flying a kite with the kids or planting a tree, there is always a reason to take a few extra seconds to look around and think about what you are doing.
Power lines are everywhere, above and under the ground, delivering the essential energy of our modern world. Knowing how to work near those lines and avoid incidents is not difficult, and always worth the time when you consider the consequences of not knowing where the line might be and having to deal with an electrical injury.
