[Look Up for Lines](https://www.kentuckypower.com/global/utilities/lib/docs/safety/overheadlines/overheadlines-Kentucky.pdf)

Most contact with overhead power lines is accidental, but can result in severe injuries and even death.  
  
Fortunately, most, if not all, electrical accidents can be prevented. Before you begin any job, whether it’s installing a TV antenna on your roof or constructing a new building, it’s important to be aware of power line locations and the necessary safety precautions.  
  
**[Review this factsheet](https://www.kentuckypower.com/global/utilities/lib/docs/safety/overheadlines/overheadlines-Kentucky.pdf)[ that explains the dangers of overhead power lines and how to stay safe.](https://www.kentuckypower.com/global/utilities/lib/docs/safety/overheadlines/overheadlines-Kentucky.pdf)**
