Interview with Philip Austin, Senior Lineworker at Duquesne Light Company, #53

Join Craig as he discusses with Philip: What is a typical day like for you? What career path did you take on your journey to becoming a lineworker at DLC? June is National Safety Month. We all use electricity every day. Can you explain what our listeners can do to help keep their homes, businesses and even utility workers safe? What do you advise someone do if they see a downed power line? Can you talk to us about some of the things you do as a lineworker that help keep customers safe? What career advice can you give our young listeners who are interested in the trades? OR What would you say to encourage the next generation of lineworkers? Additionally, make sure you listen to our Community Calendar (brought to you by Pittsburgh Regional Transit, PRT) with Debbie Norrell at the end of each of our interviews so you can keep up with what’s going on in our Pittsburgh region.
