LPEA offers a free Electrical Hazards Training program for first responders, including firefighters, police officers, and EMTs in our service territory, who encounter high risks from electrical hazards and fires during emergencies. This program aims to enhance both responder and community safety by covering key topics such as:
- Safe practices around overhead and downed power lines.
- Handling car-pole accidents.
- Managing substation fires.
- Understanding shock and arc flash hazards.
- The use and importance of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
We urge first responders to seize this opportunity to bolster their electrical safety knowledge, equipping them to navigate the complexities of their vital roles more safely and effectively. Training can be tailored to meet your needs and can be held at LPEA or at your location.
