We use electricity every day. This invisible force has become so commonplace that it can be all too easy to overlook possible electrical hazards, even in the safety of our own homes. May is National Electrical Safety Month and a good time to put the most important safety tool you have—your brain—to work.

Valley Rural Electric Cooperative operates according to democratic principles. Unlike private power companies, cooperatives are owned by their consumers, who choose representatives to run their business.
On Friday, April 6, 2018, Valley REC members will have the opportunity to use their voices and vote when Valley Rural Electric holds its annual meeting. The event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the Huntingdon Area High School.

For many do-it-yourselfers, the workshop is a second home. Make sure it's a safe place to work productively. With so many power tools in one place, take steps to prevent electrical shocks and other hazards.

Your electric blanket may be a staple for cozy, winter nights. When winter's chill descends and you bring out your electric blanket, first make sure it is safe to use, and review safety instructions -- the same steps to take if buying a new one.
