NEPPA is excited to invite Rodney Walker Sr., Safety Consultant and Arc Flash Survivor to speak at this year’s Annual Membership meeting. Rodney’s 35 years of experience in the utility industry includes trade experience as an Aerial Line Mechanic and a First Class ​Transmission & Substation Operator. He began his professional career as an Electric Facilities ​Clearance Writer, an Environmental and Training Coordinator, a Safety Professional, a ​Behavioral Based Safety Consultant, First Line Supervisor, a Sr. Electric Methods Specialist a ​Sr. Electric Instructor and before retirement, Customer Operations Manager Field & Meter ​Services.

In the mid 90’s, Rodney was severely injured in an electric arc flash. He received 1st, 2nd and ​3rd degree burns to his head, face, neck, left arm and also sustained internal injuries.
