Electrical Safety

Jasper County REMC emphasizes electrical safety at every education level.

• Some of our programs include:
  • HeadStart basic education
  • Classroom demonstrations
  • Emergency Responder full-size hotline demonstrations
• Our Member Services coordinator and a lineman will present the information to any audience
• You’re never too young, or too old, to learn what’s new in electrical safety

HeadStart Classroom

Our HeadStart program includes:

• Simple coloring books with characters illustrating electrical safety messages
• The coloring books make excellent “story time” reading in the classroom
• Dramatic discussion about climbing trees and flying kites around power lines
• We get a lot of audience participation at this level and are able to make sure they understand the information
• The kids see some of the tools that linemen use
• A tour of the big line truck
• They just might get bucket rides if they’re really good students
