What are Safety Demonstrations for?
It is important to Forked Deer Electric Cooperative and all of our employees to help kids learn how dangerous electricity can be if it is not respected. Our program helps them understand why it’s important to take precautions around electricity. Presenters and kids have fun interacting and exchanging questions and answers. A PowerPoint presentation along with a lineman with gear (if available) will come to your school with a program on what electric power is, where it comes from, and the dangers that surround it. 

Students are instructed on:
  • Safety precautions around electricity
  • Safe use of electricity
  • Safety around electrical poles, downed power lines, and utility substations
  • Importance of staying away from power lines during outdoor activities such as kite-flying or climbing trees is also stressed
