Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association Unveils Safety Program Aimed at Kids
“Generate Safety” includes classroom materials and teacher’s guide
Portable generators can be life-saving sources of power in times of emergency. Unfortunately, when used improperly, they can also be deadly. It’s never too early to start educating people about the safe, proper use of these tools, which is why the Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association is releasing a portable generator safety curriculum, “Generate Safety,” designed for school-aged children. Content is divided into two distinct age groups: grades K-6 and 7-12. The lessons promote safe usage of portable generators in emergencies and avoidance of exposure to dangerous carbon monoxide fumes.
PGMA is the industry association for portable generators and is dedicated to educating consumers on the safe use of portable generators, as demonstrated by its Take It Outside campaign.
