Recharger is the Power SAVER Team’s friendly and faithful mutt friend. He is always there to remind the Power SAVER Team about the safe way to handle hydro electricity.

(Translated from friendly and faithful mutt language.)

Electricity is safe when it’s properly used, but it can be dangerous if we don’t use it wisely.

REMEMBER THESE SAFETY RULES:

• If you see a wire hanging from a pole, stay away from it. Have an adult call Chatham-Kent Hydro at
  (519) 352-6300.
• A green metal box or other equipment with a red hazard sign on it means there is high voltage inside. You could be electrocuted if you open the box or poke anything into it.
• Never climb a hydro pole or a tree which is growing near power lines. Electric currents can travel down a tree and make it dangerous.
• Don’t pry toast from a plugged-in toaster. Pull the plug first.
• Never fly kites or remote-controlled airplanes near power lines.
• Water and electricity don’t mix! Keep radios, hair dryers and other electrical devices away from sinks, bath tubs and swimming pools.
• Always pull an electric cord out by the plug. A damaged cord could shock you!
