PSA #1
Script: As farmers prepare for planting, Safe Electricity urges farm workers to be particularly alert to the dangers of working near overhead power lines. Electricity is one of the most overlooked, yet deadliest hazards of working on a farm. Follow safe work practices at all times to prevent tragic accidents. Farmers contribute so much to our everyday lives and we care about their safety. Learn more at safeelectricity.org.
PSA #2
Script: Farmers, take time for safety. Look out for power lines before exiting the cab, when loading and transporting machinery, and when raising or unfolding equipment arms and extensions. Use caution when handling irrigation pipe. Keep equipment at least 10 feet from power lines and use a spotter when near power lines or electrical equipment. We thank farmers for all they do.
