(VANCOUVER, WA) -- The Northwest Public Power Association (NWPPA) and its Engineering & Operations (E&O) Conference Planning Committee awarded Benton PUD Utility Safety Coordinator Steve Frost with the association’s Career Commitment to Safety Award at last week’s 2016 Engineering & Operations Conference on April 12, 2016, in Spokane, Wash. E&O Safety Committee Chair Lance Hughes presented the award to Frost before the opening general session.
Frost’s commitment to safety began during his time (1982-2000) as a lineman and instructor at Montana Power Company where he focused on safety. From there, he worked for Electrical Safety Consultants International (ESCI) as a safety coordinator. At ESCI, he was responsible for performing safety services for several utilities in Central Washington, including Benton PUD. He was later hired directly by Benton PUD to focus on utility safety for these organizations.
