And so I wanted to ask you, um, you know, as energy technologies continue to evolve, what do, you know, utility employers potentially need to be considering or reconsidering in terms of employee hazard exposure?

Yeah, so this issue is near and dear to my heart.

Um, coming out of aerospace, I spent a lot of time working with chemicals.

Um, and it's really one of the areas in the utility industry that we tend not to focus a lot of effort or maybe, um-Spend a lot of time reviewing our hazard communication programs, right? Um, we tend to think of our, our risk profile as focusing on, you know, the major energy sources, like contact with, with electrical sources.

Um, but energy technologies are, are really changing, and utilities are integrating battery storage systems, electric vehicles, and other grid technologies.

Um, and these things, they offer tremendous benefits, but they also introduce new hazard profiles that maybe have kind of gone under the radar and were not historically managed.

So one of the key issues, um, is that battery technologies involve chemical hazards that may not immediately be obvious to workers who are more accustomed to thinking about those traditional types of risks.

So I'm hoping you can give listeners an overview of the biases that you cover in that article and, you know, kind of a little bit of information about what's required to begin mitigating them.
