Proud to be recognized by APPA for Safety Excellence

Braintree Electric Light Department has earned the American Public Power Association’s Diamond Safety Award of Excellence for safe operating practices in 2024.

More than 200 utilities entered the annual Safety Awards for 2024. The entrants are placed in accordance with their number of worker-hours and ranked based on the most incident-free records and overall state of their safety programs and culture during 2024. The incidence rate is based on the number of work-related reportable injuries or illnesses and the number of worker-hours during 2024, as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

“At BELD, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s who we are,” said Bill Bottiggi, GM of Braintree Electric Light Department. “This award is a testament to the dedication and teamwork that go into keeping our crew safe every day.”

“Harnessing electricity to keep our communities powered is vital work that can be dangerous, even deadly, if the proper attention isn’t paid to tried-and-true safety practices,” said Jon Beasley, Chair of APPA’s Safety Committee and Vice-President of Electric Cities of GA. “This award honors utilities that hold fast to these practices and – in doing so – put the safety of their personnel and their customers above all else.”

APPA has conducted the Safety Awards annually for more than sixty-six years. APPA is the voice of not-for-profit, community-owned utilities that power 2,000 towns and cities nationwide.
