A quick reminder about #PowerPoleSafety: DO NOT STAPLE flyers or posters onto power poles. Those staples might seem harmless, but something as simple as a staple or a tack could tear a tiny hole in a lineman's glove. These gloves protect linemen from serious injury should they come into contract with a live wire at high voltage. Let's choose safer alternatives and show appreciation for the linemen who power our lives. | Southern Pine Electric

When a power pole is broken, damaged, or rotten, restoring electricity isn’t as simple as flipping a switch. ⚡ These situations often result in outages for multiple members, and replacing a pole can take anywhere from 2–6 hours, depending on the type of pole and the extent of the damage. This time-lapse shows the skill, teamwork, and dedication our linemen bring to every job as they work safely and efficiently to restore power. | Southwest Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation
