The 2026 International Lineman’s Safety & Training Conference is in full swing. Lineworkers are packing the room to listen to Podcaster Ryan Lucas, who advised lineworkers to help others, manage their reputation and create a lasting legacy. #linemansrodeokc @tdworldmag

Travis Proffitt, a JL and safety professional, questions whether just calling 911 is enough in an emergency situation. Electric cardiac arrest can begin within 30 seconds of contact, and without CPR, irreversible brain damage can happen in 4 min. #linemansrodeokc @tdworldmag

[Kentucky Electric Cooperatives @KyElectricCoops]

Co-op crews are out in it this morning.
Ice is a slow motion disaster. It slowly accumulates, weighing down lines & trees.
Even after freezing rain stops, that weight,compounded by wind gusts,continues to stress the system.
Please keep these crews in your prayers!
