Safety
Electricity is a clean, efficient form of energy and an important
part of everyday life. The flick of a switch can heat, cool, light,
cook, clean and entertain. Electricity is a powerful servant but can
also be dangerous if it isn't treated with caution and respect. Our
commitment to using electricity safely every day is important.
Unfortunately, when an accident does happen, it can be deadly.
What we do to promote safety
Educating individuals about the dangers of electricity is important.
This is especially true for children. At Pioneer Electric, we're
committed to promoting a healthy respect for electricity and teaching
individuals to spot potential electrical hazards wherever they may be.
As your electric service provider, we conduct safety demonstrations
in schools, businesses, and other venues throughout our service
territory. These interactive presentations are designed to raise
awareness of potential safety hazards. The use of an energized model of
electrical poles and lines helps these presentations to be both
enlightening and entertaining.
Find out more about our safety demonstrations or arrange for a
presentation by calling us at (620) 356-1211 or 1-800-794-9302 or email memberservices@pioneerelectric.coop.
Working safe
Another important facet of our commitment to safety is our ongoing
investment in safety training for our employees. We work hard to ensure
that our employee training programs meet the highest OSHA (Occupational
Safety and Health Organization) standards.
