We all know about linemen and what they do, at least in theory. We see them every day. Without them, our lives wouldn't exist as we know it. They are outside in all sorts of conditions, working to keep our electricity running, sometimes in the worst conditions imaginable. They have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, year after year they come up on lists of jobs with the most fatalities, but still, how much do we actually know about all of the men and women who do this job? The job first came to be in the days of the telegraph way back in the 1840s, is still going strong today and shows no sign of slowing down.
How much do you know about this job? Do you know how much voltage goes into the average house? Do you know what the average age of a lineman is, or what they call a platform board? Most importantly, do you know what a mole, a goatskin or a baloney bender is? If you do, you probably already are a lineman, are pretty close to someone who is, or are a natural for the job. Take this quiz and we'll test your knowledge about linemen.
