Street Safety
Using electricity safely is a way to preserve life and enjoy its benefits without taking risks. This is everyone's responsibility.
Read, check, and follow the guidelines on the safe use of electricity on the street
Never prune trees that are close to the electrical grid. Contact your city's city hall and request the service. Tree pruning is a service that should only be performed by trained and qualified professionals.
When building or renovating, keep a safe distance from the electrical grid, especially when moving metallic materials, such as iron rods and wires, as they are conductors of electricity. Always consult a professional qualified for this type of service or the company that supplies energy to your region.
Theft of Electric Power Cables
The theft of electrical power cables is an illegal practice, besides being quite dangerous, it can cause serious accidents, including the risk of death. Therefore, pay attention to the dangers:
- Risk of Death: Handling power cables without proper knowledge can cause fatal electrical shocks, putting the lives of those involved and those around them at risk.
- Service Interruption: Cable theft can affect homes, businesses, and essential services, leaving them without electricity.
- Fire Risk: Incorrect handling of electrical cables can cause short circuits, which can result in fires.
If you witness or suspect actions related to the theft of electrical power cables, report it immediately by calling 190 or contact Neoenergia through the service channels.
Cutting electrical wires is considered aggravated theft, provided for in the Criminal Code. In addition to a crime, these actions can cause a serious - and even fatal - accident with the person who commits the act and with the surrounding people. It also jeopardizes the safety of the entire location and considerably impairs the quality, continuity, and reliability of the electricity distribution network. There are also damages to public lighting. With the streets without lighting, there is an increased sense of insecurity.
Remember: safety is everyone's responsibility. Don't get close or try to intervene alone. Report it and leave the action to qualified professionals.
Poles
