Safety

 

Safety Awareness is a priority to Palmetto Electric Cooperative and to Linny the Lineman, our safety mascot. It is our never-ending goal to educate our members and the community at large about the potential dangers and hazards associated with electricity.

2025 Virtual Safety Days: Linny will be taking the fun online during the 6th Annual Virtual Safety Days, July 15-17, online at the co-op’s Facebook page, YouTube channel and palmetto.coop.

Videos will be LIVE, at 10AM and 1PM each day. Linny and friends from the community will be sharing videos and daily activities covering a variety of safety topics including electrical safety, online safety, wildlife safety and more. We encourage you to talk with your children about playing it safe around electricity and take advantage of our online resources designed to help families 'Play It Safe!'

Linny the Lineman

In 1991, Palmetto Electric Cooperative adopted “Linny the Lineman” as the company’s safety mascot. Linny’s caricature, a sea turtle, represents responsiveness, distinctiveness and commitment. These characteristics coincide with Touchstone Energy's connection to local co-ops and their communities. Throughout each year, Linny attends various local school presentations, community festivals and parades, as well as attending Palmetto Electric’s Safety Days, relaying his message to “Play it Safe” around electricity.
