The Ethiopian Electric Utility is working tirelessly to provide reliable, accessible, and sustainable electricity services across the country. As the backbone of Ethiopia's overall development, electricity plays a vital role in improving the lives of our people and supporting national progress. However, while electricity is an essential part of our daily lives, failure to observe safety precautions and proper usage practices can result in serious injuries, loss of life, and damage to property.
 

For this reason, ensuring electrical safety at home and in the workplace is not a choice—it is a shared responsibility that we all must uphold.
 

As Ethiopia's electric utility service provider, safeguarding the safety of our employees, our valued customers, and the public during all electricity distribution and maintenance activities is our highest priority.
 

Beyond delivering electricity, we are also committed to educating and raising public awareness so that our customers can protect themselves and their families from electrical hazards in their homes, workplaces, and communities.
 

The principle of "Safety First" should not only guide our organization but also become a daily practice in every household and workplace.
 

To strengthen this safety culture, the Utility conducts a Workplace Safety Campaign Week every three months. The campaign aims to enhance safety awareness, improve our service delivery, eliminate workplace hazards, and better protect our customers. Its primary objective is to encourage both our employees and our customers to give greater attention to electrical safety today than ever before.
 

To achieve our shared goal of creating a safe and accident-free environment, we kindly ask all our valued customers to partner with us by:
 

Handling electrical installations and appliances in your homes and workplaces with care and ensuring they do not pose safety risks.

Immediately reporting any fallen electrical wires or other potentially dangerous electrical conditions to the Utility.
Following and applying all electrical safety messages and guidelines issued by the Utility.

Preventing illegal electrical connections and unauthorized wiring to protect yourself, your family, and your community.

Giving Safety First priority enables us to live safely today and perform productively tomorrow. Before using any electrical appliance or equipment, make it a lifelong habit to place your safety first.
 

Finally, ensuring the safe use of electricity is a shared responsibility. I respectfully call upon all of you to continue working together with us in creating a safer environment for everyone.
 

Thank you.
