Safety is the #1 Lesson
Electric Utility Lineman Kevin McCall demonstrated a pole top rescue scenario at the City’s Amazing Services event. In this drill, Kevin showed how he would save a fellow lineman in the event that his coworker fell ill or suffered an injury while working on a utility pole. Each year, Electric Utility Linemen practice the proper procedures in carrying out this lifesaving task from atop a pole and while operating a bucket truck, like Lineman Ivan Westcott.
