SAFETY & LOSS CONTROL

Our Safety & Loss Control department manages safety training and general work procedures training in addition to accident investigation, communicating compliance information, and first aid and CPR training. The department activates the Emergency Preparedness Plan and the Iowa Disaster Plan as needed. We also administer the Rural Electric Safety Achievement Program (RESAP) to promote a proactive safety culture.

IAEC recently formed a collaborative apprenticeship program with the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities and Northwest Iowa Community College. The four-year-program is sanctioned by the Department of Labor and requires 7,000 hours of study, online testing, skill evaluations, and additional testing which is administered onsite by IAEC safety staff.
