Education and Safety

Electricity is all around you. It is the most common energy source and is very powerful. Every year, thousands of electrical hazards cause injury and death – most of which could be prevented.

Electric current always seeks the easiest path to the ground. This path to ground is a conductor. Electrical conductors include water, metal, wet wood, damp soil and our body parts. Avoiding situations that allow your body to conduct electricity is critical. Grant PUD encourages everyone to play it safe by following these electrical safety tips inside, outside and at work.
