ALWAYS ON FOR SAFETY 
   

Jason Stephey is Always On for Safety

 

Being Always On for Safety, means putting safety first at work, at home and in the community. Jason Stephey, a lineman at Indianapolis Power & Light (IPL), proved that he is Always On, even in his community. Recently, while Jason was on vacation with his family, he heard a loud commotion coming from the indoor swimming pool of the hotel where he was staying. He rushed to see what was going on.

 

"I saw a lot of people running around, and I heard someone shouting for CPR assistance," he recalled. "I ran in there really quickly and found this little boy lying lifeless at the side of the pool."
