John Shoemaker, an energy services technician with Southern Pine Electric and PowerAssociation, gave a presentation to students enrolled in Agriculture and Natural Resources, Metal Fabrication, Engineering, Construction, & HAVAC programs at Simpson County Technical Center.
Students were educated about the importance of safety around energized lines and other electrical appliances or circuits. Students saw a simulation of how electricity is made and conducted.
In addition, they learned ways to conserve electricity and lifelong safety procedures related to electricity.
