The IBEW, Edison Electric Institute, the National Electrical Contractors Association, the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration and several major electrical transmission and distrubiton power line contractors have been engaged in an OSHA Strategic Partnership in an effort to reduce accidents and fatalities in the power line construction industry.
This partnership has prepared a draft report focused on industry “best practices.” Local 1245 members who would like to comment on this draft report before it is finalized are encouraged to do so by sending your comments to Jim Tomaseski of IBEW at SAfety@ibew1245.org.
A link to the draft report appears in the Outside Construction section of the IBEW 1245 home page.
