Safety

For many of us, Fourth of July celebrations mean flags, outdoor barbeques and fireworks. As you celebrate Independence Day, Idaho Power reminds you to be safe and keep fireworks away from power lines.

Our safety philosophy that “All Injuries Can Be Prevented” is supported in an environment where all employees are empowered and expected to be safety leaders. Our commitment to a culture of safety also extends to you, our customers. Use the following important safety information to keep you and your family safe around electricity and power lines.

• Keep flammable materials clear of electric heaters.
• Replace electric cords that are frayed or damaged.
• Keep electric appliances away from water-filled sinks or tubs.
• Don’t overload an outlet with too many cords.
• Stay away from power poles or transmission towers.
• Fly kites in open areas away from overhead power lines.
• Always look up and look around when moving a ladder or equipment that may come in contact with overhead power lines.
• If you see a fallen power line, keep your distance and call Idaho Power at 1-800-488-6151.

Idaho Power wishes you a happy and safe 4^th of July holiday!
