HOEC Linemen Zach Dotson and Josh Hackworth (shown) and Dwight Eden (not pictured) recently attended the Overhead and Aerial Basket School at the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives (AMEC) Training Center in Jefferson City.
The course emphasized safe and efficient live line work practices and procedures to the linemen. Field instruction focused on the proper application of protective insulating equipment, live line tools and aerial devices utilized when installing and maintaining energized lines and equipment. AMEC training staff and instructors from several Missouri’s electric cooperatives were assisted by Hubbell Power Systems, Mid America Testing & Supply and Tallman Equipment Company during the school.
AMEC is a service organization for the state's 47 electric cooperatives serving more than 560,000 rural Missourians.
