AMEREN UTILITIES - ELECTRIC & NATURAL GAS SAFETY Half-day Workskhop
As we work to deliver reliable energy to communities throughout Illinois, the safety of our employees and the public is always top of mind at the Ameren Illinois Utilities. Municipal workers are an important link to the public, particularly during emergency situations. For this reason, Ameren Illinois Utilities are offering a half-day workshop to educate municipal workers and other key personnel on the potential hazards of electricity and natural gas. This newly developed training has been conducted for municipal workers for several Ameren Illinois Utilities’ communities and participants have overwhelmingly given it high marks.
What: 
Electric and Natural Gas Safety --- Where You Live & Work
A Training Program for Municipal Workers
Where: Ameren IP Service Center. 1824 Knox Highway #9 Galesburg, IL 61401
When: Thursday June 26th 8:30 to Noon and again from 1:00pm to 4:30pm.
Who should attend: Fire and police department personnel, paramedics, and public works employees are invited to attend these sessions. Supervisory personnel are welcome, and we also encourage attendance by front-line workers who might face emergency situations involving utility facilities.
Topics will include the basics of electricity and natural gas, potential hazards, and recognizing and reporting an electric or natural gas emergency. The seminar will also feature a Live Line Demonstration by Kyle Finley, a prominent trainer of electric safety in the Midwest. The brochure below will provide you with more details regarding these workshops.
Seating is limited, so please RSVP by calling Callie Frazer at (309) 677-5488, or via e-mail at cfrazer@ameren.com by June 11th. Refreshments will be provided a half-hour before each workshop begins.
Ameren Illinois Utilities’ service territory in Illinois spans more than 43,000 square miles and includes some 45,000 miles of electric lines and 17,600 miles of natural gas pipeline. Considering our reach, it’s likely we will cross paths with municipal workers and emergency responders in your community. We are confident that this safety workshop will be a valuable experience for every front-line worker serving your community.
