Campaign Begins In May (NAPSA)—While deaths and injuries due to electrical hazards continue to occur each year, most are preventable, according to the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFT). “May is Month, but the focus on electrical safety should continue year-round,” noted Michael G. Clendenin, executive director of ESFI. To help increase electrical safety awareness for consumers, schools and the workplace in communities nationwide, ESFI offers a national electrical safety month campaign kit. ESFI’s 2005 May Kit has everything a community or an organization needs to run an effective electrical safety awareness campaign, such as letters, proclamations and camera-ready art. The kit also includes a firefighter’s account of the tragedy that can result from unchecked electrical hazards. The kit also provides information on the top electrical safety hazards, including facts, figures and tips to use in the home, school and workplace. ESFT’s 2005 May Kit is available for downloading from the online library at www.electricalsafety.org. The kit is also available in the traditional print version and now, on CD. Take time to review ESFTselectrical safety information to become part of the effort to decrease electrical hazards.
