ACTION:
Adopt a Proclamation declaring April 18, 2024 as "National Lineworker Appreciation Day"
Commision Contact: George Dunlap, Chair
Presentation: Yes
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Lineworkers are highly skilled professionals who undergo rigorous training to work with electricity safely and efficiently. Their role is critical to the safe and efficient delivery of power for our customers. On the job, linework comes with many hazards, but the extreme elements of storm damage, freezing cold or sweltering heat can increase the stakes exponentially.
Lineworkers are the first line of defense and do the important work of ‘keeping the lights on’ - whether it’s transmission techs working on high-voltage transmission lines that carry electricity from power plants or distribution techs working on the lines that carry power to homes and businesses.
