Fallen Linemen Organization is a 501(c)(3) and the EIN 46-2794268.
Mission: Our mission is to memorialize fallen electrical line workers, and care for the families who have lost or are impacted by a severe injury of a loved one in the line of duty. We aim to consolidate accident and injury information to share openly for a safer work environment.
Goals:
Recognition~ Fallen Linemen recognizes the Lineman Trade for its 24/7 on call dedication. Linemen work under unforgiving, hazardous conditions, in extreme weather, wearing fire-resistant clothing, rubber gloves, and sleeves. Being an electrical lineman is a skill that takes years to master, and requires tremendous physical stamina and knowledge. These characteristics set the electric utility lineman apart from all other trades. The men and women in this industry deserve the title of “First Responders” just like police and firefighters.
Support~ We aim to support, both financially and emotionally, ALL of the fallen or severely injured electrical line workers hurt on the job.
Memorialize~ FLO currently brings the traveling memorial to events to honor the men and women that have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep the lights on. We are in the process of securing a location for a permanent memorial.
Centralize~ We take all of the accidents and injury information and share it with the safety professionals to make working in this industry as safe as possible.
