On January 16th, members of IBEW’s 1245 Peer-to-Peer Safety Committee RTV had safety stewards (from SMUD, Truckee Meadows Water Authority and NV Energy) visited PG&E’s Shasta Hydro group in Burney, CA. They did a small presentation on the new Peer-to-Peer safety committee from IBEW 1245’s “Regulate The Voltage” (RTV). RTV was created in 2022, but just recently brought on our brothers in the Hydro group. Johnathon Triplett, an Electrician GC from PG&E, set up our morning meeting and tour of the Pit #1 power house.
RTV has had the challenge of having many umbrellas of job classifications under their purview. Breaking out and having similar job classifications from our sister utilities visit on these safety pitches has been beneficial as we try to network together and build these relationships between our Safety Stewards. Also attending from 1245 was Fred Aboud, Business Rep for Outside lines in N. Nevada, who oversees all of the Peer-to-Peer Safety Committees, as well as Steve Land, 1245 Business Rep for N. California (Chico and Redding areas).
