Energized Safety

Who is Timpson Training?

Timpson Electrical & Aerial Services, LLC, or Timpson Training, began with one goal in mind: Creating safer and more comprehensive environments for Linemen. Like many companies we began by identifying a problem and tasking ourselves with solving it. We noticed a dangerous gap in the utility training industry. Trainees are learning to perform one of the most dangerous jobs out there by pretending, imagining, acting as if lines are energized. Worse yet, other utilities are training their teams in training yards that are unsafely energized!

Our commitment to bridge this gap resulted in our development of a device that provides Linemen Training Facilities with a solution to safe, energized training for Distribution, Transmission and Meter voltages. We continue to use industry feedback, trends and developments to deliver solutions that allow for the safest work environment possible.

Why hire Timpson Training?

Why Hire Timpson Training? Timpson is not your average training company. At Timpson, the craft is our passion, and delivering an interactive and engaging class is what we do best. For this very reason, we like to limit our class sizes to 20 to 25 students.

Our Guarantee: The most engaging training you’ve ever had or the TRAINING is free!

Our gear (yards, panels, simulators) is designed “by linemen, for linemen,” drawing on decades of field experience. We customize setups for distribution, transmission, meter voltages, etc.
We use training tools that catch even small mistakes in training yards (faults, shorts, rotation, load-side issues, etc.), so instructors can turn them into teachable moments.
We stay current: continuously incorporating feedback, safety trends, and technological improvements so that training facilities get what they need as the utility/high-voltage environment evolves.

Class was better than expected and covered topics common to the industry but that can be blind spots and easy to misunderstand.
