NATE: The Communications Infrastructure Contractors Association yesterday unveiled a video shining a spotlight on the topic of Electrical Safety Awareness. The video is the second to Debut in Volume 7 of the association’s #ClimberConnection Series.
The NATE Electrical Safety Awareness video is intended to provide guidance to the industry’s technician workforce regarding the hazards associated with working near power lines as well as the equipment and training protocols necessary to keep workers safe in these environments. The video also highlights the NATE Electrical Safety Awareness training resources that are available for free to the association’s members and industry stakeholders.
“As convergence happens and the industry continues to evolve, we are seeing more scenarios where tower technicians are getting exposed to overhead and downed electrical hazards while deploying wireless and broadband services,” said Corey Manus, Vice President Business Development and Special Projects at TES, a Congruex Company. “The video touches on many crucial elements the industry’s workforce needs to be educated and trained to ensure their safety when working in these environments. I would strongly encourage companies in the industry to incorporate this video into their tailgate safety meetings and training sessions,” added Manus.
