Embracing Safety as a Culture,

Not Just a Part of the Job

At SEC, safety is paramount for all of its employees and members. Since 2016, SEC has hosted its annual “Safety Day” to stay ahead of significant and relevant changes in the electrical utility industry that impact safety.

System Operator or Guardian Angel?

SEC and one of its members are especially grateful to System Operator Erin Morgan for her efforts to help an elderly SEC member in Charlotte County during the middle of the night. The member telephoned SEC to report a partial power loss. When a call center representative asked the member questions over the phone regarding the power issue, she was unable to answer the questions but mentioned she had fallen and hit her head.

As Erin read through the call notes, she became concerned for the member. She telephoned Charlotte County EMS to report the incident and asked for a wellness check to be conducted. Erin then dispatched a SEC crew to check on the reported power issue.

“When SEC lineworkers arrived, we found that everything was in electrical working order,” said Line Technician Supervisor Cole Owen. “When the Charlotte County EMS arrived at the member's home, they found her on the floor. EMS helped her up and into bed. Erin’s above-and-beyond work ethic saved this member from a miserable night.”

Changing Lives, One Light Bulb at a Time!

SEC recently welcomed home Line Technician Scott Geovannello (photographed above, 4th from right) from his 19-day “United We Light” mission work in Santa Isabel, Ixcan, Guatemala. Geovannello was part of the “United We Light” initiative sponsored by the Virginia, Maryland & Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives in conjunction with the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association International with support from the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corp. The mission of the recent “United We Light” initiative was to bring power to the 500 residents of the rural village of Santa Isabel. Lineworker volunteers from Virginia and Maryland electric cooperatives were committed to accomplishing the mission, no matter the difficulty.

The meaningful trip was rewarding but not without challenges. The team members were met with civil unrest, protests, debilitating mud, jungle-like conditions, stifling heat, difficult terrain, etc. The group was also met with smiles of gratitude, clean accommodations and good food. In the end, they brought power to 500 grateful villagers who had never had electricity.

“We left with the lights on after constructing and energizing 5.5 miles of line to 103 service connections," said Geovannello. "I sincerely believe we enriched the lives of deserving people, changing their lives forever.”
