Third Answer

EQ: How can a lineman best reduce the risk of injury or fatality on the job?

One of the best ways to reduce these risks is by a job briefing.

  • The job will be laid out showing everyone whats going to be done.
  • The workers wont be confused on what is to be expected for the job.
  • All safety measures will be addressed making the work environment safer.

This may not be the best answer but its an important answer that plays a role in protecting yourself in this career.

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.

EQ

1.
 "I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ."
My EQ: How can I best reduce the risk of an injury or fatality while best completing the task given to me?

2.

(a) I feel like this EQ is somewhat well structured and isn't a yes or no question. It has a good point because 
here are many answers/opinions that can go in it with plenty of research to back up those answers & opinions. 

(b) The EQ is very strong because it offers a good 'fight' or argument which can have many opinions backed up with a lot of research. Isn't a yes or no question. 


(c) This EQ might need some rethinking because it doesn't feel as strong, but it does offer a variety of answers because through history there have been many hair styles, but also its good that its not a yes or no question. 


(d) Its focusing on a certain part of this career and maybe this EQ can be rewritten to ask something more in depth about the whole career not just one task that is given in this career, but its still well structured, and it shows that one can find a lot of research for it. But also it isnt a yes or no question. 


3.

How can I reassure the safety of my crew and I while securely completing the job?

Research and Working EQ

1. Working EQ: How can i best reduce the risk of injury or fatality while completing the task given to me?

2. Make sure the procedures for the job have been completed before starting.


3. I must say that my mentor has been the biggest help because my research helped get me started but he actually talked to me how they take affect. Also gave me a detailed description on how every state has its own policies and regulations to follow. 


4. My mentors name is Mark Werndorf and he works for water and power and is a Line-men instructor for the information that is needed. The facility is in sun valley, a but far but also he has introduced me to other instructors who run the safety climbing drills and technical instructors and a lot I can learn from there. Everything that I've learned from there has helped me get my first answer to the EQ.

Blog 5 Project Reflection and working EQ

-Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?
1.) One positive thing that has been the result of what Ive done so far is the fact that i wasn't so sure about my topic but thanks to O-Net and many of my other online articles, i have been given a variety of information from working hours to the labor and abilities one must presume in order to work in this career.
-EQ Content:  Pick a piece of research or your interview.  How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?
2.) One of my peices of research that was really helpful, was Career Planner.com because it was divided into 5 different parts, 1 Duties/task, 2 Activities, 3 skills, 4 Abilities, and 5 Knowledge/Experience. They all gave a different look in all those areas and now I know what to expect and what route to take so that I can best prepare myself.
-What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
3.) I have been able now take an in depth look into my topic, before I wasn't so sure and just had in mind but thanks to the research Ive found so far, it has still kept my interest.
-What hasn't worked so far?
4.) What hasn't really worked for me is that I haven't been able to exactly find what I need in my research, not all of my questions on this career have been answered but I know that throughout my mentor-ship I will be able to.
-Finding Value: 

  •  What is a potential question you would like to study this year?  (working EQ)
  •  What do you plan to do for mentorship?  If you haven't found a mentor yet, then discuss where you are currently looking and who you are talking to to find it.  
 5.) - I plan to research how to be able to accomplish the task given and how to make sure to reduce the risk of injury or any fatality? (Electrical Power line installer)
- I plan to go to my dads friend workplace, he works for LA Water and Power company and I want to go see what he does and also go observe other employers working in the field I'm studying.
