Lineworkers recognized for heroic efforts

Lineworkers are superheroes who fight to keep power flowing no matter how tough the conditions. When severe weather rolls in or the lights go out, they mobilize. And their jobs are unlike any other – they chase storms, climb poles and work on high-voltage power lines.

Working in this dangerous profession requires constant safety training, so crews are prepared to respond in the event of an emergency. And while this training is intended for on-the-job emergencies, cooperative lineworkers are dedicated and ready to assist when members are in need.

In the spotlight

Many formal types of recognition are awarded within our communities, organizations and even on a national and world stage. In athletics, teams and individuals seek championships. The performing arts has the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards). In journalism, there’s the Pulitzer and the Peabody. And, of course, there’s the Nobel Peace Prize, which recognizes outstanding achievement in science, medicine, economics and peace.
