Regardless of the Supreme Division, we have to consider what’s below our work areas. This week we’re going to do a review of:

• The underground risks, hazards, and conditions we face.
• What we do to prevent incidents.
• How to properly respond to an incident.

In addition to the Safety Meeting Agenda, I’m also including some older, yet still pertinent, Safety Flashes with some good Lessons Learned that may help you drive home the importance of Underground Utility Safety. Feel free to use one or both of them with your crews.
