Electrical Safety
This information from PPL Electric Utilities helps emergency responders learn to safely identify and respond to incidents that involve electric power lines and other facilities. It includes a series of educational topics that you can complete at your own pace.
PPL Electric Utilities may distribute electricity in your department’s response area. If PPL Electric Utilities is not the local electricity provider at an incident scene, please coordinate your electrical incident response with the local electric utility.
