PSE&G Looking for New Audiences for Its Summer Safety Program for Kids

PSE&G has been steadily growing its summer Safety Van program over the last four years, teaching a greater number of children in a greater number of neighborhoods how to avoid danger associated with electricity and natural gas. The utility wants to further expand its program by reaching out to new audiences and working with kids that haven't yet heard its presentation and potentially life-saving tips.

With the help of tabletop displays that simulate accidents, PSE&G's instructors teach youngsters that while electricity and gas power many good things, accidents can happen when safety is an afterthought.

Their interactive demonstrations make clear how important it is to stay away from downed power lines, electrical transformers and substations-and that water and electricity don't mix. Children are given safety literature to take home and share with their families.

Do you have a good program that the Van should visit? Let PSE&G know. Call PSE&G's Safety Van instructors Frank Francia and Rebeca Morano at 201-452-0683.

Note that the Safety Van is strictly a summer program for children. It runs through August 8th in neighborhoods acrossNew Jersey served by PSE&G. The program is typically targeted to English and Spanish speaking children ages 5 to 12. A limited number of openings are available, and presentations are provided Monday through Friday during business hours.
