Proactive, Not Reactive: How Utilities Are Protecting Crews in the Field

Tuesday, October 13 | 11:00 am MT / 1:00 pm ET

Becklar Workforce Safety brings together safety leaders from Volkert and Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) to discuss the real risks utility field crews face, and how two very different teams are solving for them.

From negotiating right-of-way access with angry landowners to working alone in remote mountain terrain, utility field staff face safety challenges that don’t always make headlines but happen every day. Our panel of safety leaders shares real-world incidents, including close calls that changed how their organizations think about protection, and explains why they chose to build safety into daily operations before something goes wrong.

Discover how Volkert and SMUD use Becklar’s Workforce Safety solutions to protect crews with tools that fit the way they already work, from a silent panic button that doesn’t require pulling out a phone to satellite-enabled coverage in areas with no cell service. Whether you’re managing a mobile workforce facing public hostility, remote conditions, or both, this session offers practical insight into building a safety program your employees will actually use.
