For instance, to eliminate the need for two people to work in close proximity, lineworkers are using a device called a “Christmas tree” that holds de-energized wires up and out of the way to perform to work. Usually, this task would require two lineworkers to position themselves within 6 feet of one another.
ComEd has also rented more than 300 vehicles and allowed employees to use their personal vehicles to ensure each employee is traveling alone to a job site.
ComEd is putting the health and safety of its people and the public first during this unprecedented time. Please remember to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet away if you see ComEd lineworkers in your community.
