Heed the Warning!
This sign - which is posted at
substations and near other
electrical equipment - means
what is says. Electricity can
be deadly, and should always
be respected. Take this
warning seriously, and teach
young children - even those
too young to read - to
recognize the warning sign
and steer clear of the hazard.
