Spring,
Summer, and Fall are the perfect seasons for outside safety training.
Recently the West Central Iowa Groups participated in Pole Top and
Bucket Truck Rescue training with Tracy Fortune. Tracy performs a lot
of High Voltage Electrical safety training all over the state of Iowa
for IAMU and does a great job. If you have not previously participated
in this training but do any Pole Top or Bucket Truck work, we highly
recommend this training.
The training provides instruction and
hands-on practice regarding the different methods of safe rescue from a
pole top (with or without a cross arm) or a bucket truck. This training
includes fall protection, review of bucket truck safety, recognizing
hazards, and methods to insure a safe rescue. This training is very
important for Utilities as well as any City Crews who may need to assist
with a rescue or use a bucket truck for changing street lights, setting
seasonal decorations, banners on utility poles, or on any other
structures, and those who perform tree trimming.
We want to
thank all the IAMU members who participate annually in our Pole Top and
Bucket Truck Rescue Training. If you would like more information,
please contact us!

IAMU will be holding a webinar on April 25, 2023 for supervisors and
safety personnel responsible for developing or overseeing a Heat Stress
program. In response to the rise in the number of fatalities due to
heat, OSHA published new enforcement policy regarding Heat Stress in
April 2022. The focus of this webinar is to discuss the
employer’s responsibilities to those working in hot environments and to
assist in creating a Heat Illness Prevention Plan. This plan must be
made site-specific and all employees that have the potential to be
exposed to hot working environments must be trained using your specific
plan. A template for the plan will be provided to all that attend. Click HERE to register.
