Safety tips from Georgia Power for National Electrical Safety Month

Posted on May 12, 2016March 5, 2025 By Sylvester Local

ATLANTA – May 12, 2016 – May marks National Electrical Safety month across the country – a time to spotlight the importance of electricity in everyday life, as well as electrical safety in and around the house. Georgia Power, the state’s leading electric utility serving 2.5 million customers, makes safety a core value for thousands of employees across the state who work safely every day to keep power flowing for customers.

Georgia Power offers the following simple Electrical Safety Month tips:

  • Consider the Cord – Don’t place appliance cords where they will come into contact with stoves or other heated surfaces, over countertops or areas where they could be pulled. Look for frayed appliance cords, inspect them regularly and never substitute an extension cord for permanent wiring.
  • Ladders Matter – Exercise caution when using ladders around the house, painting, pruning or cleaning near a service drop as all ladders can conduct electricity.
  • Watch for Wires – Keep balloons, kites, fishing lines, aluminum poles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) away from overhead lines every day and as line crews work in the field.
  • Prep Poolside – Don’t use electrical appliances near pools and never route extension cords around pools.
  • Focus on Fire Prevention – Avoid storing combustibles such as paint, cardboard, sawdust and flammable liquids near electrical equipment or fuse boxes.
