Exit Interview
1. EQ: How can a lineman best reduce the risk of injury or fatality on the job?
2. From the beginning of the year I found my first answer, a tailgate with my mentors help. But when the second answer was assigned I wasn't sure at all what else to choose. One day at mentor ship around January , my mentor Mark Werndorf who works for LA Water & Power, showed me a lineman pyramid. Just like there is a pyramid for all the food categories, there was one made for lineman. What we ended up doing was spitting it in half. Tailgate went under Planning & Preparation so it wasn't too hard transitioning to it. But my second answer had a lot of information that wasn't necessarily accessible by internet. But that pyramid contained the knowledge of many experienced lineman who've edited it and gave their opinions about. Now that I have my two answers I am able to see how all my research fits into both my answers and especially my first and best answer.
3. I actually didn't face many problems except for the fact that most of my research is pretty technical and since I don't have the inside experience that teaches what I'm reading, it's going to make it a bit difficult to put everything that I'm learning into more simplistic words for the class and my final presentation.
4. The biggest source has been my mentor, when ever there is something I didn't understand about my research I wrote it down and asked him, he gave me full on technical and easy to understand definitions and examples. The second is biggest source is, "The Guidebook for Lineman & Cableman". Has every technical aspect of the job and gives scenarios, examples, and definitions of all the equipment and vehicles they use.
- Planning & Preparation play an important role in keeping a lineman safe.
- Work Exercises & Proficiency help a lineman maintain the skills needed to be safe on the job.
- Job briefing helps reduce the risk of injury or fatality.

- You need to know & learn the practices and exercises you learn during training so that you can put it to use once you start working
- You must gain experience by learning not only from your mistakes but also from others mistakes.

Blog 10: Senior Project: the holiday
1. I did the homework that my mentor left me which was to crumble news paper. Another thing that I did and liked was that I had all the time that I needed to read through my research and take my time to understand it.
2. This career choice is unique because of all the tools and skills/knowledge one must obtain and learn to use with care to be able to work and stay "safe" and out of harms reach. This stood out for me because it came from the "Guide Book for Lineman & Cable man" that my mentor gave me.
3. If I had to make a 10 question interview I'd choose to interview my mentor Mark Werndorf simply because his life is devoted to teaching even the most experienced linemen on up to date tools and the knowledge and attitude one needs to endure this type of job.
