Lessons Learned

? Always follow through with your gut instinct and check out a precarious situation, in this case, a vehicle fire was prevented because wireman checked under the hood after noticing a voltage gauge fluctuation

? Ensure the right tool for the job is used correctly. Propane vapor was created when the shut-off valve may have malfunctioned and remained partially opened, the vapor was ignited, causing first degree burns to the face of an employee

? Slips, trips, and falls. Safety is continually reminding employees about the dangers of slick walking surfaces and encouraging them to don ice cleats provided by GVEA
