Safety Tuesday: Tired is a hazard.

Storm work runs on long shifts. Sixteen hours, usually at a minimum. A short night at the hotel, a dark drive back to staging, then do it all again.

Fatigue doesn't announce itself. It shows up as a skipped step on cover-up, a slow reaction in the bucket, or a truck drifting on the ride home.

A few habits that keep storm crews sharp:

🔻Treat rest like PPE. A lot of sleep on a storm isn't always going to happen, so the sleep we do get, we need to treat it as part of the job and take it serious.
🔻Count the drive. The ride to and from the hotel is part of your shift, and it's where a lot of tired hands get hurt.
🔻Eating proper meals and staying hydrated are part of ensuring we are well-rested, able-bodied, and fit for duty.
🔻Watch your partner. If someone's eyes are heavy or they're missing calls, say something. Speaking up is never the wrong call.

The lights will come back on. Make sure you come home too. Everyone home, every shift.

Ice storm in the Midwest, nor'easter in the Northeast, hurricane in the South or Southeast: we travel to the damage.

Prime Line Power supports utilities and prime contractors across the Midwest, Northeast, South, and Southeast in the spirit of mutual assistance.

When your own crews and contractors are stretched thin, we bring extra line crews to help close out outages faster.
How we work when we arrive:

Yards in all four regions, so crews and equipment are never far from the damage

We report to your staging area, follow your work rules and safety standards.

Stay through the final restorations, not just the first push

Storm season doesn't follow region lines, and neither do we.

Reliable crews. Close by. Ready when you call.

WHATS THE COST?

Insulate. Isolate. Every time.

This week, during hurricane restoration, our industry was reminded again how fast a "dead" line can become a live one. When the grid is being rebuilt at storm pace, with crews from all over, switching happening around the clock, and backfeed from generators, assumptions get people hurt.

Two habits stand between a lineworker and the worst day of their life:

Insulate: cover up. Rubber hoses, blankets, and line guards on everything within reach, energized or not. Cover-up is your barrier when something changes that you didn't expect.

Isolate: remove the source. Open the feed, verify the clearance, test for voltage, and install your grounds before you touch it. If you can't prove it's isolated, treat it as hot.

Storm work rewards speed, but no restoration timeline is worth a life. Slow down on the steps that matter, speak up when something doesn't add up, and back up the crew next to you.

To every lineworker out on this storm: we're thinking of you and your families. Work safe, and come home.

Another safe deployment and safe return. That’s a success. Thank you to our great team for another completed mission.

Our strategically placed yards are ready to respond to the potential Nor’ Easter. The numbers are submitted. Line crews across the region are prepared to be dispatched. Make sure YOU (New England Residents) are prepared as well!

Must-haves for September New England power outages (incoming nor’easter):

• Flashlights/headlamps + extra batteries
• Charged phones, power banks, and a car charger
• Battery or crank NOAA weather radio
• 3+ days of bottled water (1 gal per person per day) and ready-to-eat food + manual can opener
• Medications, first-aid kit, and any medical-device backups
• Working smoke/CO detectors with fresh batteries
• Printed list of utility reporting contact numbers
• If you have a generator: test it now, store fuel safely, and run it only outdoors well away from windows/doors

Leaves are still on the trees, so even moderate gusts can take down lines. Charge everything today and keep fridge/freezer doors shut if the power drops. Check NWS and your utility alerts through late week.

On this solemn anniversary we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the first responders who ran toward danger.

Their courage and sacrifice remind us of our nation’s resilience and the enduring duty to never forget.

Ballad of the lineman

Some of our men out in Illinois, we could not do it without them. What a great group of guys, we are very blessed to have them on our team.

Lord, watch over these men and all the workers that are in the multiple states responding to the storm.
