Mahoning Valley Safety Council: Live Wire Electrical Safety

Description

Mahoning Valley Safety Council: Live Wire Electrical Safety

Featuring: FirstEnergy

Each year, people are injured or lose their lives due to accidental contact with power lines or electrical equipment. Join us to learn best practices for staying safe during a firsthand look at electrical dangers using the Live Wire Electrical Safety Trailer.

With a primary focus on first responder and municipal worker education, FirstEnergy representatives will use an electrical safety demonstration trailer with a live 7,200-kV single phase distribution system to show the power of electricity, how an electrical system operates, how to recognize unsafe and dangerous conditions and, most importantly, how to stay safe around power lines and electrical equipment. 

Several real-life hazardous conditions will be demonstrated, including ladder contact, animal or tree on a wire, pad mounted transformer, downed wire on a vehicle, human contact with down lines or conductive objects and more.
