KEC has a robust safety program and a safety director who is responsible for running the program. Prior to COVID-19, the crews had monthly safety meetings. For now, that has been replaced with online training. We also conduct pole top and bucket truck rescues annually. Right now, we are also keeping crews separated and staggering start times to reduce the risk of COVID-19.
Tell us about the culture of the crews.
Besides a strong safety culture, we pride ourselves on getting a lot of work done and providing exceptional service, especially during outages. A strong work ethic and a safety mindset are important characteristics when we consider new employees.
