Safety is life at MYR Group, and it shows across our subsidiaries. This month, three of our subsidiaries were recognized for safety excellence by the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA): E.S. Boulos, The L.E. Myers Co., and Sturgeon Electric.

At the NECA 2022 Safety Professionals Conference which took place this week in Arizona, seven districts across three MYR Group subsidiaries earned Safety Excellence recognitions. Five districts across the same subsidiaries also earned Zero Injury recognition. Winners were announced on May 17, during the conference.

“We are honored to be recognized by NECA again this year with awards for Safety Excellence and Zero Injuries,” said James Foley, MYR Group’s vice president of safety operations. “Congratulations to our subsidiaries and many thanks for representing MYR Group and the safety culture we have established.”

2022 Safety Excellence Winners:

  • E.S. Boulos: Auburn, Maine district
  • L.E. Myers: Indianapolis, Ind., Marshalltown, Iowa and Chattanooga, Tenn. districts
  • Sturgeon Electric: Phoenix, Ariz., Tucson, Ariz., and Henderson, Colo. districts

2022 Zero Injury Winners:

  • E.S. Boulos: Auburn, Maine
  • L.E. Myers: Indianapolis, Ind., Marshalltown, Iowa and Chattanooga, Tenn.
  • Sturgeon Electric: Tucson, Ariz.

Both recognitions of achievement are part of NECA’s elite safety recognition program that assesses companies that excel in multiple areas of safety and health. The program recognizes member companies that have consistently lower OSHA recordable injury and fatality rates and implement internal safety practices that go above and beyond basic compliance.
