Heads Up for Home Safety 

The following valuable tips will help you keep your home and family safe around the potential dangers of electricity:

• Stay away from downed power lines and anything they are touching.

• Stay away from transformers.  If locks are missing or broken, notify OG&E immediately.

• Leave 1 ½ foot clearance around a transformer if landscaping.

• Don’t overload outlets.

• Stay away from substations.  If something like a ball goes over the fence, call OG&E for assistance.

• Water and electricity don’t mix.

• Look up before you climb and down before you dig.  Power lines are located overhead and underground.

• Be sure your generator is properly installed by a licensed electrician to prevent it from back feeding into our system, endangering linemen, and potentially causing a fire.

• Stay away from power lines.  They are bare wires and not insulated.  Downed power lines may appear to be harmless but could be live.
