Safety Presentations
We make electrical safety a priority at Linn County REC. Each year children and adults are injured in electrical accidents that could have easily been prevented. We feel that educating our members and local community is important to prevent these accidents from occurring.
Linn County REC offers free electrical safety education presentations for children and adults in our service territory. If you have school age children, talk to their teachers about bringing this informative presentation to their classroom.
Linn County REC offers separate electrical safety presentations to accommodate different age levels. Based on the audience targeted, you can choose the one that best fits your needs.
- Play it Safe Around Electricity - Designed for kindergarten through 1st grade, this presentation includes a discussion about electricity. It incorporates a video featuring “Louie the Lightning Bug” explaining safety tips in an animated way. Plus Louie himself makes an appearance.
- Hazard Hamlet - Designed for 2nd through 5th grades, this presentation uses a remote controlled display showing various scenes where electrical safety is crucial. It dramatically shows what can happen when you come in contact with electricity.
- The Shocking Truth - Designed for 6th through 8th grades, this presentation features an 18 minute live action dvd highlighting safety lessons learned while two students research a science project.
Presentations take approximately forty-five minutes and include a coloring book for the younger students or an activity book for the older students.
Linn County REC encourages schools to target one grade level (ideally where electricity is being studied) and invite us to visit that grade on a yearly basis. This allows the entire student body to receive this very important safety information as they funnel through that particular grade level.
If you think your local school would be interested in one of these safety presentations, please have your teacher submit the Electrical Safety Presentation Request Form or contact the Member Services department.
