Description:

This training course provides a review of the eight “Best Practices” for outside line workers. These best practices are the work of the Electrical Transmission and Distribution (ETD) OSHA Partnership. The partner companies have worked to collect injury and death statistics to provide areas of focus for training and specific work practices that needed modification in an effort to reduce statistics. The success of these best practices is evident by the reduction in statistics as a direct result of implementing best practices within the participating partnership companies. This program can assist attendees in providing a thorough review of the nine best practices and how to implement them in day-to-day operations.
