Electrical Safety
This information from SMUD helps emergency responders learn to safely identify and respond to incidents that involve electric power lines and other facilities. It includes a series of educational topics that you can complete at your own pace. These topics may also be accessed in the certification course by clicking the link above.
SMUD may distribute natural gas and electricity in your department’s response area. If SMUD is not the local electricity provider at an incident scene, please coordinate your electrical incident response with the local electric utility.
Please note: This information reflects industry best practices but is not intended as a substitute for formal tactical training or your organization’s guidelines. Please consult with your training officer to ensure all appropriate formal training has taken place, and be sure to follow your department’s SOPs/SOGs.
