by following these simple electric safety rules:

• Consider any electrical line dangerous. Keep all objects (such as kites, ladders and antennas) away from power lines.
• Do not attempt to raise or move electric lines. They are not insulated!
• Call J.U.L.I.E. at least two business days before digging at (800) 892-0123, so they can mark underground lines that may be near the area where you plan to dig.
• Report to the cooperative any potential power line hazards (including trees growing in the lines).
• Always stay away from any electric line down on the ground. Call Corn Belt Energy immediately.
• Never touch a person or object that is in contact with a power line.
• Pull the entrance switch or fuse before working on wiring or any equipment connected to the wiring. If in doubt, call a competent electrician.
• If a fuse blows or a breaker trips, find out the cause before restoring current to that circuit. Look for damaged wires, bare wires, defective outlets and defective appliances.
• Install ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in areas where appliances may accidentally come into contact with water, such as in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages and outside.
• If your vehicle hits a utility pole, stay in your car until help arrives.
