OmniFiber asks to join Trumbull County discussions on fiber-optic construction safety
Summary
A representative from OmniFiber asked the commissioners to include the company in countywide meetings about fiber-optic construction safety, offered to meet with staff and described on-site supervision and restoration practices.
Dominic Carroll, speaking for OmniFiber, asked the commissioners to include his company in countywide talks about fiber-optic construction safety and contractor oversight. "Accordingly, we respectfully ask that Omni be included in the board's upcoming countywide meetings with fiber providers, 8-1-1 representatives of the Public Utility Commission of Ohio, and local government officials," Carroll said.
Carroll described steps OmniFiber says it uses to reduce safety and restoration problems: on-site supervisors for crews, marked trucks, safety equipment and an internal ticketing system to track restoration requests. He also said OmniFiber considers overhead placement where appropriate and conducts preliminary meetings with local officials and councils during the engineering phase. He asked to meet with county staff to "begin building a cooperative and productive working relationship."
