More than 10 percent of residential electrocutions in 1998 were related to antennas and
ladders. When installing or taking down radio and CB antennas and when using ladders
to clean windows and gutters, paint the house or trim trees, be mindful of overhead
power lines. |

| Substation Safety |

|
The “Danger—Keep Out’ or “Warning—High Voltage” signs on substation
fences are there for your protection. Substations convert high-voltage
power from transmission lines into lower voltage electricity to supply
homes and businesses? Substation equipment is always exposed to
high-voltage. Some substation components could be energized at more
than 100,000 volts. |
