Safety
We take electrical safety VERY seriously.
While electricity brings us many of the conveniences that make our lives better, it also demands our respect.
Many of our power lines are energized to 7,200 volts. Contact with them can be deadly. If you take a few minutes to look around for power lines before you start a project or fly a kite with your grandchildren, you can avoid catastrophe.
Dawson PPD offers electrical safety demonstrations and brochures. We care about you and want you to be safe.
