Lineman School Safety: Why American Career Training is Your Best Choice!
Being an electrical lineman is a challenging and dangerous profession but it is also one of the most essential and respected careers in America. These skilled workers install, maintain, and repair power lines, ensuring our homes and businesses run smoothly. While the risks are significant, at our Lineman School, we prioritize your training and safety protocols. For Example:
Life On The Line – Climbing Poles!
When considering a lineman school, it’s crucial to ask about the condition and types of poles they use. At American Career Training, we use Douglas Fir poles, known for their exceptional strength and durability. Douglas Fir, native to the Pacific Northwest, is widely recognized as the industry standard across America for supporting the electrical grid.
Alternatively, other lineman schools may use less durable, overused poles which are more prone to failure, increasing the risk of accidents during training. This difference in materials has a direct impact on safety records, as reported here by a tragic incident involving a 19-year-old lineman student who “was on a pole during training when it failed, causing him to fall with it.”
While there are inherent risks in a Lineman’s career, those risks should be minimized as much as possible during training sessions. At American Career Training, we are dedicated to producing Electrical Linemen who are well equipped for a safe and prosperous future.
We attribute our 100% safety record to smaller class sizes and more hands-on training. Unlike larger lineman schools, our personalized attention ensures each student receives individualized instruction and mentorship.
Our commitment to using high-quality materials further enhances the safety and effectiveness of our training programs to prioritize your long-term safety and success!
