Step Into the Lineman's Shoes

If you made your living as a lineman, it goes without saying you would want your work environment as safe as possible. You can help make the lineman's job safe by putting a little common sense into action. For example:

• Don't hang birdhouses or basketball goals on electrical poles. The lineman will have great difficulty climbing around them, even though you think they are perfectly placed.
• Don't landscape around poles with flower boxes, birdhouses or anything else that might cause harm if a lineman were to fall.
• Don't hang signs on poles because the nails or staples could cause the lineman to slip if he has to climb the pole.
