Board Member Spotlight
Every job, every time.
CenterPoint Energy training is focused on making sure your leadership and field personnel understand the 811 state laws, safe digging best practices, and other tips to help your projects be completed damage free without the delays and expenses of cutting a natural gas line. Most importantly, it is critical we cover how to stay safe in the event of a cut natural gas line.
Louisiana 811 Board Member, Taylor Creech, CLECO
As a Lead Distribution Engineer for Cleco Power LLC it is my responsibility to ensure that my fellow employees and Cleco’s contractors have everything they need to dig safely. At Cleco we want all of our fellow employees and contractors to go home to their families at the
end of the day in the same condition they came to work. As a member of the Northlake Utility Council since it was restarted in 2016, I have helped spread the Damage Prevention message in St. Tammany Parish. As a member of Louisiana 811’s Board of Directors, I will work hard to help spread the Damage Prevention message across the state. Together and with the power of Louisiana 811, we can dig safely, keep the lights on, and get everyone home safely.
Our training also covers the steps to prevent natural gas ignition, explosion, and inherent risks should blowing gas from a damaged pipeline occur in your community.
