With intensity and determination, REMC crews sharpen their life-saving skills by practicing pole-top and bucket rescue drills. And in late spring, here on the grounds of the Asheboro office, your cooperative crews passed another rigorous training session. Every day, your REMC lineworkers must not only stand ready to respond to memberowners' needs, but also to the needs of their team. If a lineworker should become impaired or unresponsivehigh atop a utility pole, specialized rescue must be performed by their co-workers. Role playing exercises like these equip your lineworkers with preparation, decisiveness and speed so that crews know with confidence that they can protect each other. REMC is grateful to our employees for their dedication to excellence in the realm of safety.
