Police, fire and EMT professionals may encounter potential electric safety hazards at an emergency or accident scene. Our free safety awareness guide (a DVD and CD-ROM package) reviews the electrical hazards that may exist in emergency situations. This guide can be used in a classroom setting, at safety meetings and by individual instruction.

The safety guide will help first responders identify hazardous situations, assess the related dangers and make informed decisions so they can do their jobs safely and effectively. This safety guide is not a substitute for a thorough course of professional training, however.

This comprehensive guide was produced in cooperation with several law enforcement and fire agencies. First responder agencies should already have established policies regarding specific actions in emergency situations. Please consult your agency for policy details. SCE will, however, help first responder agencies establish safety guidelines and policies related to electrical hazards.

This award winning program is available free to any law enforcement, fire and EMT agency and organization serving SCE customers and/or operating within or near the Edison service area.
