Trevor Wehrer, Manager of Operations and Safety said, “Job safety is important to everyone, no matter the occupation. For linemen, there can be no mishaps or careless actions. Linemen understand the magnitude of the hazards they face and take workplace safety measures to keep themselves and others around them safe. Safety must always come first, regardless of their other responsibilities.”
Congratulations to Trevor on his certification from the United States Department of Labor. Norris wishes Trevor continued success in his lifetime career as a lineman.
