Live wires — A demonstration of dangers


Grays Harbor District employees, first responders and media were invited to the Grays Harbor PUD on Thursday to watch a safety demonstration showing a variety of scenarios that could lead to accidental electrocution, injury and death. The demonstration utilized the Cowlitz County PUD’s Arc Trailer display, a ground level, high voltage safety display tool resembling a common power line setup. PUD lineman use the Arc Trailer display to show what happens when common items such as ladders, shovels and kites come into contact with dangerous levels of electricity and to raise awareness regarding electrical hazards.
