Line personnel across Illinois gathered in Springfield on Sept. 19 for the annual Lineworker’s Safety Rodeo, coordinated by the Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives. Fifteen teams representing 12 electric cooperatives and one municipal electric utility participated in the friendly competition, which focuses on safe work practices and skills lineworkers use every day to keep the lights on.
Upon completion of events and after scores were tabulated, Shelby Electric Cooperative (SEC) lineworkers Jamie Sharp, Dalton Brown and Brian Chevalier (pictured) won Best Overall Team for the third year in a row. For more coverage of the Lineworker’s Safety Rodeo, go here.
