Hancock-Wood celebrates 10 years of safe work.

Hancock-Wood Electric Cooperative is proud to celebrate an incredible safety milestone: 10 years of safe work without a lost-time accident. Reaching a decade of safe work is a significant accomplishment and reflects the dedication and commitment of our employees to making safety a priority every day. From our line crews working in the field to the employees serving members throughout the cooperative, safety is an important part of everything we do. Working around electricity comes with inherent risks, and our employees understand the importance of following proper procedures, using the right equipment and staying alert to potential hazards.

Regular safety training, job briefings and ongoing education help ensure our employees have the knowledge and tools they need to perform their jobs safely. Safety is more than rules and procedures. It is also about looking out for one another. Our employees take responsibility not only for their own safety, but for the safety of their coworkers and the members we serve. That commitment has helped create a culture where everyone understands that getting the job done safely is the most important goal.

“Ten years of safe work is something we can all be proud of,” said President and CEO Bill Barnhart “This milestone represents the commitment our employees make every day to safety, to each other and to the members we serve. We are grateful for their dedication and the care they put into their work.” While we are proud to celebrate this achievement, safety is never something we take for granted. Every day brings new conditions and challenges, and our employees remain committed to maintaining the highest safety standards.

Congratulations to the entire Hancock-Wood Electric Cooperative team on 10 years of safe work! This milestone belongs to every employee who has made safety a priority and helped ensure that everyone goes home safely at the end of the day.
