Lightning Protection

Though every structure is unique requiring different levels of protection, LEC offers some common lightning safety measures to prevent lightning hazards:

  • Monitor weather conditions
  • Just in case someone is caught outdoors when the storm is in the area, they should immediately seek appropriate shelter like a building, low ground, in clumps of bushes, fully enclosed motor vehicle, etc.
  • Alternately, if the lightning is extremely close and you are outside; put your feet together, duck your head on your knees and crouch down low in a baseball catcher’s stance.
  • Follow the 30/30 rule: if it takes less than 30 seconds to hear thunder after seeing a flash, then lightning is near enough to pose a threat
  • If your hair is standing on its end, you are in lightning’s electric field
  • If a co-worker gets struck by lightning, administer first aid immediately and seek medical assistance. It is entirely safe to touch them.
