Sharing Stories and Saving Lives

Oct. 17, 2023
The 2023 International Lineman's Rodeo Safety and Training Conference offered strategies for lineworkers to stay safe in the field.

The International Lineman's Rodeo Week is focused on not only creating a fun networking event for lineworkers and their families, but also emphasizing the importance of safety in the line trade. More than 300 attendees learned about everything from the proper use of PPE to personal bonding and grounding at this year's Lineman's Rodeo Safety and Training Conference. 

The following photo gallery shows highlights of speakers and attendees from the day-and-a-half event at the Overland Park Convention Center. You can also learn more about the safety conference by reading a story in the December 2023 issue of T&D World magazine.
