Join the Conversation With Industry Experts On January 21st at 1:00 p.m. ET

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.

You’ll Learn:

  • 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

    This is a must-attend event for operations managers, utility leaders, and anyone interested in simulations in the workplace. We encourage you to forward this webinar to the relevant executive and training stakeholders on your team.

    Time will be dedicated at the end of the discussion to answer live audience questions.

    Attendance worth 1 contact hour for certification/CUSP maintenance.
