Hoosier Energy surpasses 2,000 incident-free days with Davey

Hoosier Energy, a utility operating in the southeastern U.S., faced the significant challenge of performing hazardous manual line clearance work on remote and rough terrain in Tennessee and Virginia. The work required extreme precision and a strong safety focus to protect crews working with dangerous equipment near energized utility lines. The vendor, Davey, provided its utility line clearance service to address this challenge.

The Davey crew, consisting of eight members with over 20 years of experience together, implemented a safety-focused mentality with vocal protocols and encouragement to halt unsafe work. This solution led to the crew surpassing 2,000 days without an OSHA recordable incident. This milestone demonstrated Davey's ability to produce high-quality, safe work for its client under difficult conditions.
