IBEW 1245’s “Control the Pressure” Committee has seen steady growth this year. The peer-to-peer safety program for gas workers has added nine new stewards and ten new members to the steering committee, for a total of 35 safety stewards and 45 members in the program. The committee is well on its way to meeting its overall goal of having at least one safety steward in every yard.
Plans are under way put “Control the Pressure” committee members on the road again to different work areas in order to spread their message about the life-saving peer safety program. The committee members and safety stewards plan to deliver their presentation at as many gas safety kick-off events as possible in 2015.
