• Metal
• Wet wood
• Water

Your body is 70% water and is a dangerously good conductor of current. So, if you're grounded and touching an energized bare wire, electricity will pass through you to ground.

Just a little current can be fatal
An amount of electricity as small as that found in a typical Christmas tree bulb can be fatal. Or, the shock can easily cause serious falls, burns, cuts or internal bleeding.

Indoor safety

• Never touch an appliance or switch it on or off with wet hands.
• Never place electrical equipment where it could fall into a sink or water.
• Check all cords periodically to be sure they are in good condition.
• Don't use extension cords as a substitute for fixed wiring.
• Cover electrical outlets you're not using with plug protectors.

Outdoor safety

• Stay clear of substations and power lines.
• Be sure your outdoor wiring is on a separate circuit of sufficient amperage for your heavy-duty equipment and power tools.
• Don't overload extension cords.
• Avoid contact with the electrical service entrance to your building when painting or doing other repairs.

Before you dig
If you are planning a project that requires digging, be sure to call the Holy Moley at least two working days before you begin. Call toll free 1 (800) 382-5544.  Participating municipalities and utilities can then mark the location of any underground lines on your property. Damaging a line is not only dangerous, it will also be expensive if you have not contacted Holy Moley ahead of time.  It's the LAW!!!
