Local 1245’s Peer-to-Peer Program

Regulate the Voltage (RTV) is IBEW 1245’s peer-to-peer safety committee for members who work in substation, generation and operations.

This group is dedicated to safety creating a safety culture that motivates IBEW substation, generation, and operations workers to promote safety through mutual support and protection on the job. Sometimes the pressures of the job, or simple inattention, may lead to cutting corners or creating a hazardous working condition. It is the responsibility of every member who spots such a condition to “Regulate the Voltage” by stopping the work until the hazard is addressed.

Members can consult with a Regulate the Voltage Safety Steward to help resolve safety concerns that arise. If the Safety Steward is not able to resolve the issue, it can be referred to the Regulate the Voltage Advisory Committee.

If you want more information about the Regulate the Voltage program, or to volunteer to be a Safety Steward, please contact Business Representative Jody Castro.
