In the early 1900’s the electric lineworkers profession was considered one of America’s most dangerous jobs. Over the years an emphasis on job safety has led to new safety guidelines and a less hazardous environment. The Lineworkers Rodeo, establish in 2001, is intended to showcase the public power lineworker’s skill and knowledge while utilizing proper safety procedures. In addition to the enhancement of skills through competition, CPP provides its lineworkers with training, workshops and a forum to ensure safety and continually update industry knowledge.
