Manitoba Hydro is posing some questions, and the answers can all be summed up by the same word: safety.
The utility has launched a new public safety awareness campaign around the theme “Safety is the answer” aiming to help Manitobans avoid some common electrical and natural gas hazards that have the potential to result in damage, serious injuries or fatalities.
One of the ads shows a Danger: High Voltage sign and warns, “See a sign? Don’t ignore it. Safety is the answer.”
The campaign is a fresh reminder of how to reduce risks: stay away from electrical infrastructure, click before you dig, avoid power lines with farm equipment, know the risks of carbon monoxide – and many others.
“Safety is our top priority at Manitoba Hydro, and public awareness like this helps our customers know the risks and how to stay safe,” said Tara Kendzierski, Manitoba Hydro Community Investment and Public Safety Specialist.
The updated safety messaging began appearing April 6 on billboards, TV, radio, public service announcements, website banners and print ads. It replaces Manitoba Hydro’s “Safety, it’s in your hands” campaign that came out in 2019.
