NRECA Safety Accreditation Program
NRECA's Rural Electrification Safety Accreditation Program is designed "to inform and promote safety and loss control concepts in the interest of the employees and the public served; for the preservation of life and the prevention of injury; and to aid in the reduction of escalating costs associated with preventable injuries and/or death." Visit www.nreca.org for details.
Georgia EMC is responsible for coordinating and advising Georgia's EMCs who wish to participate and apply for accreditation. Based on a three-year review period, the accreditation process involves three steps:
- Complete an online application that represents a collaborative record of the EMC's safety policies and procedures.
- An on-site field observation is conducted for the purpose evaluating the physical aspects of the EMC.
- The online application and observation forms are submitted to the RE Safety Accreditation Committee for review.
Jim Wright, Georgia EMC's Vice President of Training, Education & Safety, is the NRECA RE Safety Accreditation Program Administrator for Georgia's EMCs. Please contact Jim Wright for details regarding your EMC or call 478-992-6130.
