City of Lawrenceville

Huston Gillis, Lawrenceville Public Works Director, was recognized by the City Council for completion of the Certified Loss Control Program (CLCP), a rigorous certification designed to advance safety standards in the electric utility industry. The CLCP is administered by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association in collaboration with the National Utility Training & Safety Education Association. The program provides participants with extensive training in safety practices critical to electric utilities. The CLCP program is highly selective, with Gillis being among a small group of utility professionals nationwide to earn the certification this year. The certification process involves comprehensive training, including a 30-hour OSHA course, seminars on cutting-edge safety techniques, and a capstone project focused on real-world application. Participants attend four intensive, week-long sessions aimed at promoting innovation in safety and loss control measures. Read the full press release over at https://lnkd.in/eQgPdWK7.

It was a night to remember with dancing, live performances, live mural painting, shopping & of course delicious food downtown! Photo Credit: Boon Vong
