Pointe Coupee Electric Safety Coordinator Prepares for the Future

Joe Langlois becomes a Certified Loss Control Professional

Pointe Coupee Electric Safety Coordinator Joe Langlois has recently completed an intensive program in electric utility safety and loss control. The Loss Control Internship is a series of workshops offered by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) in conjunction with the National Utility Training & Safety Education Association (NUTSEA). The program is designed to instruct participants in many areas related to electric utility industry safety.

     According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 6.2 million injuries occur annually in the workplace. One of the goals of a Certified Loss Control Professional is to help ensure a safe work environment for utility workers and the public in general. Avoiding workplace accidents avoids down time and can ultimately lead to lower utility rates.

     Joe Langlois is one of only a few electric utility professionals that will receive this certification. The program requires participants to complete a rigorous series of seminars and tests, a detailed course project and a 30 hour OSHA course.

     Loss Control participants go through four 6-day sessions that are designed to challenge and educate participants in new, innovative safety techniques. Participants must also maintain their certificate by attending courses every year in order to stay on top of changes in the industry. The NRECA/NUTSEA Loss Control Internship is one of the most exclusive educational programs in the nation for loss control professionals.

     Pointe Coupee Electric General Manager Joseph H. “Jodie” Cotten, the Board of Directors and fellow employees congratulate Joe Langlois on his huge accomplishment. Joe has been with Pointe Coupee Electric since August 1985.
