Safety is top priority in the line workers program. When line workers start climbing poles, early in the first semester, they climb with safety harnesses that are attached to fall protection devices until they are comfortable with the procedure of pole climbing. Set up and operational use of digger and bucket trucks are emphasized with safety films and in field training. Other areas of safety related topics included in this program are:
Hard hat, eye, hand, and foot protection
First aid/CPR, pole top and bucket rescue
Ladder safety and Osha safety rules
Grounding procedures
Rubber gloving energized conductors (simulated)
