[bright upbeat music] - Hi, my name is Manny, and I am a helper.

I am very proud of my job because I help keep you safe around electricity.

I am a line worker.

You might see me if the power goes out in your neighborhood, or if there has been a bad storm.

I'm going to tell you a little bit more about line workers.

When I go to work, I wear a uniform so you know I am there to help.

My uniform looks like this.

My safety vest is an important part of my uniform.

Its bright colors help drivers see me when I am working on the side of a road.

My hard hat protects my head if tools or branches fall on me.

And my tool belt holds the tools that help me work on the power lines.

Another really important tool is my truck.

Let's go check it out.

My truck is a little different than the other cars you see on the road.

It has special tools that help me work on the power lines and stay safe.

[bright music] [bright music continues] These flashing lights help drivers see me when I'm working on the side of the road.

My truck has a bucket.

It allows me to climb inside and use these levers to go work on the power lines way up high.

My truck has these special legs that help keep it sturdy when I go inside the bucket to work on the power lines.

Power lines look like this.

Power lines attached to these wooden poles help transfer electricity from the power plant all the way to your home.

Practicing electrical safety is important because electricity is everywhere.

You should never play near power lines outside.

Be sure to keep kites, model airplanes, or balloons away from the wires.

If a toy becomes stuck in a power line, do not touch the toy, and get help from an adult right away.

When you are inside, it is important that you never play with electrical outlets.

In an emergency, you can help me by staying away from fallen wires, and asking an adult to call the power company right away.

A line worker, like me, will come to help.

I like my job because I get to help people like you.

If you see me in your neighborhood, wave hi.

I like to wave back.

Line workers like me are important helpers in everyone's neighborhoods, because we keep the power on in homes and buildings.

So what's my job?

To keep you safe.

What's your job?

To be safe.
