 A Message from the President
For the last fifteen years, ESFI has been a leading advocate of electrical safety in the home and the workplace.
This past year, ESFI and the U.S. utility industry partnered together to better understand the problem of utility copper theft in the United States. As a result of this ongoing partnership, we are pleased to present the 2008 Copper Theft Baseline Survey of Utilities.
On behalf of ESFI, I would like to thank APPA, NRECA, and EEI for their efforts in the development and distribution of this first-of-its-kind survey, which will serve as a powerful baseline instrument for future measurement and trend analysis.
Thank you, Brett Brenner
President, Electrical Safety Foundation International |
