TNMP Recognizes Electrical
Safety Month With Helpful Hints
FORT WORTH -The month of
May is national electrical safety
month. Texas-New Mexico Power
Company offers safety precautions to
help heighten awareness of potential
electrical hazards and make the most
of spring and summer activities.
“Some of the safety advice we
provide may sound like common
sense, yr-t every year, people are
injured because they didn’t use
these simple measures,” said Jack
Chambers, TNMP chief customer
officer. “The basic rule of thumb is
to treat every power line as if it’s
energized, even if it’s a downed line
that you think is dead.”
TNMP recommends avoiding
any contact with power lines and to
follow these safety basics:
• Never climb power poles or
trees that are in the vicinity of
power lines.
• Never thrust objects into power
lines. Even a kite or string, if it con-
tacts a power line, can produce seri-
ous shock to the person on the earth
holding the kite string. The same
applies to model planes and ropes.
• Call the local TNMP office if
branches are growing around
power lines. Both aluminum and
wooden ladders can be conductors,
so leave the tree trimming to the
professionals.
• Practice extra precaution when
using electrical lawn mowers and
weed-eaters so as not to cut power
cords.
• Don’t attempt to rescue cats
that are climbing near utility lines.
They will come home when hungry.
If the pet is injured, call the local
TNMP office.
• Never let a sailboat sail into an
electric line and never raise the
mast of a sailboat under an electric
power line.
• Know the location of under-
ground power lines near your
home, and never dig close to them.
The advent of spring also brings
spring storms. These storms, as well
as some car wrecks and other acci-
dents, can damage electric distribu-
tion systems and leave energized
power lines lying on the ground.
These lines are extremely dangerous
and should be avoided. Contact the
nearest TNMP office or a local law
enforcement officer in the event of a
downed power line—these represen-
tatives will respond promptly to guard
against injuries to anyone in the area.
Texas-New Mexico Power Com-
pany provides community-based
electric service to 85 cities and
more than 222,000 customers in
Texas and New Mexico. It is the
wholly owned subsidiary of TNP
