Safety

On the job and at home, it's important to know how to be safe around power lines. This means keeping everything you are handling at least 10 feet away from all overhead power lines. It's not only an important safety rule, it's the law. To help keep workers safe, we provide presentations and free materials for contractors, irrigators and other groups.
