With harvest back underway in Saskatchewan, farmers are again being reminded to stay safe on the farm, especially around overhead power lines.
SaskPower has already reported a number of incidents this year where farm equipment has come into contact with overhead power lines, and all of those incidents were preventable according to SaskPower.
Laura McKnight who is from SaskPower explains what you can do to prevent incidents from happening.
"There are a few simple tips that can prevent an incident from occurring, such as being aware of your surroundings," McKnight said. "So prior to work really go out there become aware of the overhead line on your property, and identify any hazards that you need to be aware of."
