Safety starts before the work begins. Every job our EnergyUnited crews take on starts with a conversation. Before getting to work, crew members review the plan, identify potential hazards and make sure everyone understands their role in completing the job safely. And when conditions change? Our crews stop, regroup and adjust their plan before moving forward. These everyday conversations play an important role in protecting the people who work hard to keep our communities powered. ⚡💚 Because no job is more important than making sure everyone goes home safely. #TheEnergyUnitedWay
