How You Will Stand Out

• You are visible in the field, and crews and contractors talk to you because they trust you.
• You understand electrical hazard on a technical level, and arc flash and LOTO are not abstractions to you.
• You investigate to root cause and verify that corrective actions actually hold.
• You coach rather than police, and you can correct a behavior without losing the relationship.
• You keep compliance documentation clean, because an inspection should never be a fire drill.
• You build working relationships with regulators, fire departments, and local responders before you need them.
• You communicate clearly with everyone from a new hire on their first day to a customer safety representative.
