Safety

Harrison REMC has a strong commitment to educating the community about the safe use of electricity and precautions to take around electrical equipment and appliances. That's why we're part of a brand new program called Safe Electricity.

Safe Electricity promotes safety awareness through many communications, including a comprehensive Web site SafeElectricity.org. In addition to general and detailed information for consumers, there are children's games and activities and resources for teachers.

REMC Hotline Demonstration

Harrison REMC also offers electric safety demonstrations to the public. Each year the REMC hosts the "Firemen's Seminar" to educate local firemen and emergency personnel how to handle dangerous situations involving electricity. On a smaller scale, the REMC offers a tabletop version of the hot line demo for classes, scout troops and civic organizations. If you have a group that would benefit from an electric safety demo, contact the REMC.
