Cooperative safety program

The Cooperative Safety Program (CSP) is a partnership of 11 utilities, municipalities and organizations that share a commitment to public and workplace safety across the southern interior of B.C. The goal of this program is to improve public awareness of electrical and natural gas hazards — and how those hazards can be avoided.

Initiated by FortisBC in 2005, the annual electrical and natural gas safety awareness campaign focuses on four key messages for both the public and industry professionals – ‘Look Up and Live,’ ‘A Downed Power Line is Deadly,’ ‘Smell Gas Act Fast’ and ‘Call Before You Dig’.

Use caulking to seal gaps and holes around non-opening windows, electrical outlets and openings around water pipes and vents.
