The Buses and the Bees
As the new school year begins, we want to remind all employees to stay alert and practice extra caution in and around school zones. Let’s keep students, staff, and families safe as they return to school. Safety starts with awareness please drive responsibly!
CCW crews work in easements, meter sites, and around vegetation. That means there is a risk of encountering bees and snakes, especially during warmer months.
Bees and wasps: Avoid wearing strong fragrances and keep sugary drinks sealed. If swarmed, remain calm and slowly walk away do not swat. In the event of a sting, monitor for allergic reactions such as swelling, hives, or trouble breathing, and seek medical help immediately if symptoms occur.
Snakes: Always wear protective gear boots, gloves, and long pants when working near brush, tall grass, or debris Never reach into areas you can't see clearly If you spot a snake, do not engage Slowly back away
Stay alert, protect yourself, and report any bee or snake activity to your supervisor right away
