Message from the Field Safety Committee

For some reason we are forced to continually ask ourselves some serious questions… Have we beaten the virus? Can prices get any higher? Will the world settle back down? Will the violence end? With things like this looming over our heads and the work load maintaining full capacity with no end in sight it is increasingly important that we step back, take a deep breath and take stock on ourselves first, check in on our families, friends and co-workers, listen to what is happening around you. When we chuckled at the premise of our buckets getting too full in our HPI posters I don’t think that most could comprehend or imagine the type of times that we are faced with or the overwhelming effects that it can have on each and every one of us individually as human beings. Be conscientious that these events have differing effects on those around you and be aware on the job of the distractions that could result. Don’t be afraid to talk, and most of all, please don’t be afraid to listen! As we continue to navigate and conquer some of the most trying of times please remember that humility is not denying your strengths, humility is being honest about your weaknesses. We are proud to announce that the Field Safety Committee has joined forces with our SOP Committee to assist in the development and rollout of a set of procedures that allow employees to safely and efficiently perform tasks not common to their daily activities. We are excited to showcase this work along with the work that was previously completed by the SOP crew. We eagerly look forward to any and all feedback from the field as to content, usability and value as well as ideas for future topics. These documents are not designed to replace an operating manual or to deem someone qualified. They are generally a short outline of tips and tools to adhere to based on research and years of collective experience on each topic. The joint committee has solicited the help of subject matter experts from both inside and outside the company to assist in the development of those documents. We hope these SOP’s can be valuable assets to our brothers and sisters in the field similar to the results that have been noted to date in our Power Group. Our linemen have had a number of these SOP documents in circulation and available to the field for several months generating very positive feedback. Please stay safe and as always feel free to reach out to any of our Field Safety representatives with comments or questions at any time!

Fraternally, Jeff Harter Field Safety Committee Chairman
