Utility Safety Voice of Experience with Danny Raines: My Male Breast Cancer Survivor Story

American entrepreneur Jim Rohn once said, "Take care of your body; it's the only place you have to live." In this episode, we talk about a different type of safety than we usually do—and that safety revolves around personal health and the dangers of a less-talked-about cancer: male breast cancer.

Several years ago, Danny Raines was lucky to discover a lump in his breast in time to get the treatment he needed to get rid of his cancer. He shares his cancer survivor story with us in this episode and urges all listeners to be aware of and check for male breast cancer. If you want to learn more about male breast cancer, visit the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org.

Utility Safety Solutions: An On-Helmet Detector that Alerts Your Workers to Electrocution Hazards

The unique aspect about electricity that makes it so dangerous is that, by most accounts, it is not a danger that is easily detected through one's sense of sight or sound. In this episode, we sit down with lineman, trainer and Safeguard rep Brady Hansen, who tells us about an innovative utility safety product that is designed to act as a bit of a "sixth sense" for workers by providing an on-helmet audio/visual alert system for voltage and current detection.
