Abstract
Electric energy is one of the most versatile and widely used forms of energy, Generation and delivery of this energy form requires diligence in safe work practices and procedures which are best established through proper training. This paper reports on a survey of rural utilities and the responses provided on issues and practices relating to job training and safety for rural utility employees. A total of 3,075 surveys were mailed to rural utilities throughout the United States. Responses were received from 675 utilities representing a 22.0% response rate.
