A Kids Guide to Safety

Safety starts with you
Safety is important. We take safety very seriously at OPG. Ontario Power Generation expects every worker, young and not-so-young, to return home at the end of every day in the same physical condition as they started it in.

Dam safety
There are dangers in coming too close to hydroelectric dams and stations. A spot that looks calm and safe one moment can become dangerous within a few seconds as water levels and flows change. This can happen without warning. Calm waters or a dry riverbed could change quickly into one with rapidly moving, dangerous waters. It is also important to obey all warning signs, fences, buoys, booms and barriers. They are put there to protect you. The areas inside are dangerous, so stay clear of them.
