Overhead line work remains one of the most hazardous occupations in North America.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), lineworkers experience fatality rates two to three times higher than the national average due to electrical exposure, work at heights, and challenging operating conditions. Traditional training methods often fall short in preparing crews for the unpredictable, high-risk conditions they encounter in the field.
In this webinar, a duo of training experts from CM Labs Simulations will share how simulation-based training helps utilities, municipalities, and training centers improve workforce development. The training prepares lineworkers for dangerous scenarios in a safe and controlled environment, standardizes training across crews, and provides instructors with the tools and data to deliver more effective training.
Takeaways will include:
The key industry challenges, including workforce shortages, experience gaps, and persistent incident and fatality risks
Why traditional training methods alone can’t fully prepare linemen for high-risk situations
How simulation enables a more data-driven approach to workforce development
How simulation helps reduce incidents, accelerate onboarding, and lower training costs
