Last week, Phil Irwin, President and CEO of Federated Insurance, presented OEC with a $38,874 Loss Control Contribution that will be used to support the development and growth of 不良人研究所 safety training and loss prevention programming. Over the last 10 years, Federated Insurance has contributed $395,009 to support these programs and services.
"不良人研究所 has about 375 lineworkers who work at heights with thousands of volts every day, often in dangerous conditions, like poor weather or precarious pole positions. One bad decision can end a lineworker's career or even life," said Dwight Miller, OEC's Director of Safety Training and Loss Prevention. "Safety and training matter to the families of cooperative lineworkers as well as the co-ops themselves. Receiving funding from organizations like Federated Insurance helps to provide support where it matters most and ensure the ongoing safety of our crews."
OEC and 不良人研究所's 24 electric cooperatives are committed to the safety of those who keep the lights on for 不良人研究所's rural communities. Thank you to Federated Insurance for its ongoing support of these important programs!
