Real-world safety guidance for power, storms, outages, and the moments that matter.
At Paulding Putnam, we put this Safety Center together to give people access to what they need before, during, and after the lights go out, along with the everyday electrical safety habits that help prevent problems in the first place.
From generator use and downed lines to outlets, appliances, and power around your home or farm, it is all in 1 place. Clear, practical guidance you can use when it counts.
Safety Demonstrations
Some lessons stick better when you see them firsthand. Our safety demonstrations show what can happen when electricity is mishandled. Overhead lines, underground lines, backfeed, and more.
We bring these demos to schools, fire departments, and community groups because knowledge like this saves lives. Plain and simple.

Tree Trimming & Reliability
Tree trimming is not about appearances. It is about keeping the power on. Limbs too close to lines are 1 of the leading causes of outages in this area.
We stay ahead of it with regular maintenance because waiting until there is a problem is the hard way to do things. This work protects reliability, improves safety, and keeps service steady when conditions are not.

Safe Electricity WebsiteStorm, Disaster, & Outage Preparedness
When bad weather rolls in, a little preparation goes a long way. Have a few basics ready like a supply kit and a plan, and take the time to understand what to expect before the storm hits.
If the power goes out, focus on what matters. Check your breakers, see if your neighbors are out, report the outage, and stay clear of downed lines.
If you are running a generator, do it the right way. No shortcuts. 1 wrong move can put you or a lineworker at risk.
It does not take much, but it makes a difference when you need it.
