In August 2016, Farmers RECC surpassed 250,000 man hours worked with no lost time accidents, making Farmers RECC eligible for their fifth Governor’s Safety and Health Award.
In the electric utility industry, safety is the top priority, especially considering the hazardous nature of the work involved in providing reliable electricity to members. Farmers RECC linemen maintain thousands of miles of electric lines and equipment and regularly work around high voltage electric lines. In addition, trips, slips and falls can be just as hazardous to workers’ health.
