In this quarter鈥檚 newsletter, Central 不良人研究所 Lineworker Training (COLT) takes center stage. Kyle Hoffman, COLT鈥檚 manager, writes a thought-provoking article that should give us all plenty to consider at this juncture in time. We also highlight COLT鈥檚 Journeyman Refresher Program (JRP) as we gear up for some changes in 2024. You鈥檒l meet Taylor Harris, COLT鈥檚 latest hire who we believe to be an excellent fit for the COLT Program and ST&LP Department. You鈥檒l finally go back in time in our 鈥淪AFETY Throwback鈥 section to see what things used to look like prior to COLT, when the 鈥渢raining facility鈥 consisted of one small shed (and a porta pot when needed!). We hope the quality of the COLT Program shines through in this edition of SAFELINES, but our ultimate hope and prayer is that all our workers make it home every day and after every call. And that can only come as each and every one of us stay intentional in our safety programs. We hope you enjoy this edition of SAFELINES and may God bless you and your families.
Dwight Miller, CLCP, CUSP: Director, Safety Training and Loss Prevention
