What is Georgia Power going to do to ensure the safety of residents, children and pets while the work is ongoing?
Safety is a “core belief” at Georgia Power for both employees and the public. With that said, any large construction site contains safety hazards. Georgia Power designs and builds facilities according to the National Electric Safety Code. When building transmission lines, we use traffic and warning signs, utilize local police for traffic control, and monitor access to our work areas. Our workers are highly trained on safe work practices. Despite these safety measures, please caution others, especially children, never to go near electric facilities whether they are under construction or already in service.
