Safety Awareness

Safety Awareness is a priority to Palmetto Electric ... and to Linny the Lineman, our safety mascot. It is our never, ending goal to educate our members and the community at-large about the potential dangers and hazards associated with electricity.

Annually, the co-op sponsors Safety Days, designed to teach children ages 6 through 11 about hunting safety, fire safety, self-defense and electrical safety. Palmetto Electric also takes its safety demonstrations into local schools and day care centers to reach as many children in the community as possible. Linny the Lineman, Palmetto Electric's safety mascot, is a much-requested presence at educational functions as well as local festivals.

Palmetto Electric also offers electrical safety programs to local businesses. Our Safety Coordinator will demonstrate to your employees the dangers of working around electrical equipment. To set up an appointment please call Fran Achille at 843-208-5562.
