My mentor gave me a small packet filled with knots and their names with instructions how to do them. I practice them when I can because it will be useful for the future

Advisory Meeting #2

                  How can a lineman best reduce the risk of injury or fatality on the job?
 Answer#2:
- Skills & Proficiency is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of injury or fatality because those are strong fundamentals for this career.

  • Knowledge is important because you need to know the specs of construction, for example, when setting up a pole you need to know how to lay the foundation.
  • 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.            
- The information was all gathered and sorted out by me mentor at my mentor-ship.

I feel that my second answer is really important and stands out in supporting my EQ.

Independent Component 2 Approval

1. For these 30 hours of my second Independant component I plan to continue attending my Mentorship because it's the best place for me to be getting detailed information and facts about my topic. I will be able to look into certain parts of my guidebook with the help of my mentor.
2. I will be logging in my hours and post pictures for the extra posts of each month and also show small facts on the pictures of what I am learning. 
3. I will be asking my mentor and others in the facility my EQ and see what they respond so I can have many perspectives and answers to research.
