Utilities Safety Challenges

We understand the unique safety challenges facing utilities professionals.

Electrical Hazards

Working with high voltage demands rigorous training, qualification tracking, and daily briefings. One mistake can be fatal.

Distributed Workforce

Line crews, meter readers, and field technicians are spread across your service territory, making training and communication challenging.

Weather Response

Storm restoration means long hours, mutual aid crews, and heightened hazards. Safety can't take a back seat during emergencies.

Public Interaction

Workers often interact with the public, facing risks from traffic, dogs, and hostile customers.

Confined Spaces

Manholes, vaults, and other confined spaces are common in utility work, requiring proper entry procedures.

Regulatory Oversight

OSHA, state PSCs, and federal agencies like FERC and EPA all have safety requirements utilities must meet.
