Loss Control & Safety Specialist
Don Maynor has been employed by Alaska Power Association (APA) as a Safety Professional and for ARECA Insurance Exchange (AIE) as a Loss Control Specialist since February 2019. Prior to APA and AIE, he was employed by Golden Valley Electric in Fairbanks Alaska, since 2002. For APA, he helps provide training and assists utilities with safety-related matters.
Current project is an electrical safety trailer for utilities to use when training the community on electrical safety. His main concerns are first responders and children when it comes to electrical safety. In 2021 he helped create a weeklong advanced utility lineman training event for Alaska and hopes to provide something similar for power plant operators. On the loss control side, he inspects facilities for life safety, environmental, and maintenance issues.
In Fairbanks, he volunteered with the local ASSP Midnight Sun Chapter and held many positions over the years helping bring many training events to the community. Since moving to Anchorage he has joined the ASSP Alaska chapter and is a member of the Alaska Safety Advisory Council. He looks forward to helping the state evaluate what it can influence to make Alaska work toward providing safety to the communities throughout Alaska, especially for the youth.
For fun, he hangs out and races at Alaska Raceway Park in Palmer. Currently, he drives an alcohol funny car for the Harris Bros race team.
