Nails and staples left from signs hung on a utility pole may seem harmless, unless you’re a lineworker working in darkness to restore power who doesn’t see them. They can easily rip protective gloves, putting him at risk of being electrocuted.
Lineworkers may not see a bird house, plant hanger or other object on the pole, either, that could cause them to slip and fall.
For their safety, please don’t attach anything to a utility pole.
The Great Lakes Energy lineworkers who help keep your lights on thank you.
