IBEW Safety Committee Updates: October, 2019

October 24, 2019

Local Union Safety Committee

IBEW 1245 has been alerted to two accidents involving Hogg-Davis cable pulling trailers at PG&E. One incident occurred with the equipment being used improperly on a hill where control was lost, and several cars were damaged. In the other incident, a flat tire on the pulling trailer caused an accident with a car in the adjacent lane. No injuries in either incident.

Modesto Irrigation District has decided to use heavy X-arms on all dead-end construction after a light duty wood arm failed while dead-ending wire (no injuries).

National Safety Committee

The IBEW Safety Caucus /NSC biannual meeting in San Diego highlighted tailboarding, reporting of injuries promptly and fatigue mitigation. During the IBEW Safety Caucus, Line Clearance Tree Trimmer safety was raised a number of times.
