T

his month, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on the importance of safety. May is Electrical Safety Month, and West Florida Electric Cooperative (WFEC) will be sharing safety tips and reminders throughout the month on our social media to help raise awareness about the dangers of electricity. We all depend on electricity to power our lives, but accidents can happen when electricity is improperly used.

Our responsibility to employees It is no accident that safety is a top priority at West Florida Electric Cooperative. We are committed to a culture of safety that is integral to our daily operations. In fact, WFEC is part of the Rural Electric Safety Achievement Program (RESAP) that follows specific guidelines and protocols for electrical safety that are considered leading practices. Our lineworkers are required to wear personal protective equipment at all times when on the job. This includes special fire-resistant clothing that will selfextinguish, limiting potential injuries from burns and sparks. Insulated and rubber gloves are worn in tandem to protect from electrical shock. Our safety team regularly discusses important safety issues pertaining to work within the building as well as out in the field. 65553001 As the Executive Vice President and CEO of West Florida Electric Cooperative, I believe it is my duty and responsibility to raise awareness about the importance of electrical safety. Take a moment to plug into safety.

Dial 811 before you dig

Thank you for electing me as your District 4 Trustee. I will continue working in a way that earns the trust you have placed in me by making decisions that are best for all cooperative members, our employees and the communities we serve. Again, thank you for your vote and for your support.

Old records, gospel, country; 956-4571.

Know What's Below nderground utilities, such as buried gas, water and electric lines, can be a shovel thrust away from turning your outdoor project into a disaster.

Play it safe by dialing 811 to find out where utility lines run on your property. Your call will be routed to a local “one call” center. Tell the operator where you’re planning to dig and what type of work you will be doing, and affected local utilities will be notified. In a few days, a locator will arrive to designate the approximate location of any underground lines, pipes and cables. These areas will be marked with flags or paint so you’ll know what’s below. Then the safe digging can begin. 86569001 Although many homeowners are aware of “Call Before You Dig” services, the majority doesn’t take advantage of them. A national survey showed that only 50 percent of homeowners called to have their lines marked before starting outdoor projects that require digging, according to the Common Ground Alliance (CGA), a federally mandated group of underground utility and damage prevention industry professionals. CGA data also shows that an underground utility line is damaged every six minutes in the U.S. because someone decided to dig without first dialing 811.

Even simple tasks like installing a new mailbox post can damage utility lines, which can disrupt service to an entire neighborhood, harm diggers and potentially result in fines and repair costs. 87854001 Never assume the location or depth of underground utility lines. There’s no need: the 811 service is free, prevents the inconvenience of having utilities interrupted and can help you avoid serious injury. For more information about local services, visit www.call811.com.

Dial 811 before you dig

Thank you for electing me as your District 4 Trustee. I will continue working in a way that earns the trust you have placed in me by making decisions that are best for all cooperative members, our employees and the communities we serve. Again, thank you for your vote and for your support.

Old records, gospel, country; 956-4571.

Know What's Below nderground utilities, such as buried gas, water and electric lines, can be a shovel thrust away from turning your outdoor project into a disaster.

Play it safe by dialing 811 to find out where utility lines run on your property. Your call will be routed to a local “one call” center. Tell the operator where you’re planning to dig and what type of work you will be doing, and affected local utilities will be notified. In a few days, a locator will arrive to designate the approximate location of any underground lines, pipes and cables. These areas will be marked with flags or paint so you’ll know what’s below. Then the safe digging can begin. 86569001 Although many homeowners are aware of “Call Before You Dig” services, the majority doesn’t take advantage of them. A national survey showed that only 50 percent of homeowners called to have their lines marked before starting outdoor projects that require digging, according to the Common Ground Alliance (CGA), a federally mandated group of underground utility and damage prevention industry professionals. CGA data also shows that an underground utility line is damaged every six minutes in the U.S. because someone decided to dig without first dialing 811.

Even simple tasks like installing a new mailbox post can damage utility lines, which can disrupt service to an entire neighborhood, harm diggers and potentially result in fines and repair costs. 87854001 Never assume the location or depth of underground utility lines. There’s no need: the 811 service is free, prevents the inconvenience of having utilities interrupted and can help you avoid serious injury. For more information about local services, visit www.call811.com.

Donnie Worley (above), Manager of Loss Control and Risk Management, is one of several employees who can conduct a live electrical safety demonstration for your school, club or organization. For more information about how to schedule electrical safety demonstrations, contact the office at 800.342.7400.

Our responsibility to employees It is no accident that safety is a top priority at West Florida Electric Cooperative. We are committed to a culture of safety that is integral to our daily operations. In fact, WFEC is part of the Rural Electric Safety Achievement Program (RESAP) that follows specific guidelines and protocols for electrical safety that are considered leading practices. Our lineworkers are required to wear personal protective equipment at all times when on the job. This includes special fire-resistant clothing that will selfextinguish, limiting potential injuries from burns and sparks. Insulated and rubber gloves are worn in tandem to protect from electrical shock. Our safety team regularly discusses important safety issues pertaining to work within the building as well as out in the field. 65553001 As the Executive Vice President and CEO of West Florida Electric Cooperative, I believe it is my duty and responsibility to raise awareness about the importance of electrical safety. Take a moment to plug into safety.

This May, Take Time to Plug into Safety Russell Dunaway, Executive VP & CEO

T

his month, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on the importance of safety. May is Electrical Safety Month, and West Florida Electric Cooperative (WFEC) will be sharing safety tips and reminders throughout the month on our social media to help raise awareness about the dangers of electricity. We all depend on electricity to power our lives, but accidents can happen when electricity is improperly used.

Our responsibility to you WFEC’s concern for safety extends beyond our employees. We care deeply about the safety of our members, and this month, we encourage you to plug into safety. According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International, thousands of people in the U.S. are critically injured as a result of electrical fires, accidents and electrocution in their own homes. 66715002 To promote safety education in our local communities, we are available to present our live electric safety demonstration at your school, club or civic organization meeting, community event or church. We frequently provide electrical safety content in The Current Light Flashes and we encourage the public to contact us if they see a downed power line or any other type of dangerous electrical situation. We strive to provide our communities with safe, reliable and affordable electricity and to serve as your trusted energy advisor, now and well into the future.
