Annual lineman training and pole top safety day

Every year, WH’s linemen participate in a pole top rescue drill and skills day.

Every year, WH’s linemen participate in a pole top rescue drill and skills day.

The team reviews what to do in case of an emergency involving a fellow crew member.

If a lineworker was to have an emergency while climbing a pole or in a bucket, this training ensures another lineworker can safely rescue them, lower them to the ground, and begin first aid.

Safety is one of WH’s core values, and this training ensures our employees are trained to handle anything. Check out a video below!
