dards for the protection of
our employees and the com

Bob Ray, Flint Energies’
President and CEO.
Founded in 1967 as a peer
review program, the RESAP
brings together job safety
training professionals and
affiliates of the electric utili
ty industry to establish safe
ty accreditation guidelines
for electric cooperatives.
The accreditation process
is an analysis of a coopera
tive’s safety and loss control
program, measuring overall
effectiveness with the goal
to preserve life and prevent
injury. RESAP standards
exceed compliance standards
of the Occupational Safety
& Health Administration
and the Department of
Transportation.
Accreditation is awarded
when EMCs meet all safe
ty standards for protecting
employees and the public.

A cooperative applying for
accreditation must undergo
several evaluations based on
a three-year review period
during which a team of safe
ty experts from accredited
systems, led by Jim Wright,
area administrator for
Georgia, conducts an on-site
crew visit, field observations
of buildings and facilities,
operating equipment, and
personal protective equip
ment. In addition, the pro
spective EMC must submit a
detailed report outlining the
co-op’s safety policies and
procedures.
Georgia EMC repre
sents the state’s 42 EMCs,
Oglethorpe Power Corp. and
Georgia Transmission Corp.
Through this statewide net
work, the EMCs provide
electricity and related ser
vices to four million people,
nearly half of Georgia’s pop
ulation, across 73 percent of
the state’s land area.
NRECA is the national
service organization that
represents the nation’s more
than 900 consumer-owned
electric cooperatives.
