Sumter EMC’s linemen climb the poles in all weather conditions and at all hours of the day or night to maintain and repair the equip- ment that brings you safe, reliable electric power.
Remember, when a lineman must unfasten his safety harness to climb above an obstacle on a utility pole, he’s working without a net! Also, when linemen have to remove objects from poles in order to climb them during an outage, it takes longer to restore your power. Linemen whose climbing hooks hit a nail instead of sinking securely into wood may fall from the pole and sustain serious injuries.
Tacks, nails, and staples driven into Sumter EMC’s utility poles can puncture the linemen’s rubber safety gloves and leave them vulnerable to electrocution. You can help protect your linemen by not turning our utility poles into obstacle courses with tacks, nails and staples from posted signs, posters, notices, or mounted recreational equipment. Sumter EMC’s linemen are well-trained and very dedicated men, who take tremendous pride in serving you. Sumter Electric Membership Corporation is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
