Safety and Reliability

Maintaining a reliable power grid and ensuring the safety of our members and employees are top priorities at Ozarks.

Safe For All

Our safety slogan, "Safe for You, Safe for Me, Safe for Them, Safe for All," reflects the emphasis we place on safety for our employees and members. With regular safety briefings, external training and an annual Safety Stand Down Day, safety is a core part of our culture.

Right of Way

Trees and power lines don't mix. Our right-of-way crews ensure reliable power by keeping lines free of vegetation, and clearing the way for line crews after storms.
