Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Safety Training

Recently, our LMRE linemen completed their annual safety training tests, including pole-top rescue, where linemen practice climbing a pole safely and quickly to assist another lineman in need. In the field, this skill would be used if someone was experiencing an emergency while working on a pole. While we hope to never need to use this training, safety is our top priority to  help prepare our linemen for any emergencies they may occur in the field.
