Taking Electrical Safety Precautions in Your Yard

“Think Before You Act!”

Re-routing wires or installing a satellite dish isn’t something most homeowners do every day. Thus, it’s important that someone with little electrical experience makes sure to review a list of safety precautions first.

Knowledge is power protection- the more you know, the more likely you’ll be to act safely.

Here are a few tips from Your Insurance Problem Solvers and Risk Managers.
