'Play It Safe' Kids Zone
Safety Awareness is a priority to Palmetto Electric Cooperative.
It is our never-ending goal to educate our members and the community at large about the potential dangers and hazards associated with electricity.
Palmetto Electric also takes its electrical safety demonstration into local schools, camps, recreation centers and more to reach as many children in the community as possible. Online resources and the Virtual Safety Days program allow children and adults to access safety material anytime they want! Linny the Lineman, Palmetto Electric’s safety mascot, is a much-requested presence at educational functions as well as local festivals.
Save the Date for 2026 Virtual Safety Days! Linny will be taking the fun online during the 7th Annual Virtual Safety Days, July 14-16, online at the co-op’s Facebook page, YouTube channel and palmetto.coop. Linny and friends from the community will be sharing videos and daily activities covering a variety of safety topics, including electrical safety, fire safety, wildlife safety and more. We encourage you to talk with your children about playing it safe around electricity and take advantage of our online resources designed to help families 'Play It Safe!'
