Greenville Utilities’ safety record was recognized twice recently. 

APPA 
We received the American Public Power Association’s (APPA) safety award for 2023. This honor recognizes utilities' incident rates and the overall state of their safety programs and culture. APPA uses electric department work hours and number of employees to determine award winners.  

GUC is one out of 147 public power utilities to have earned the Safety Award of Excellence for safe operating practices for 2023.  

ElectriCities 
Our safety record was also recognized by ElectriCities with their Municipal Electric Safety Award. We were one of 52 ElectriCities member utilities that had no lost workday cases due to accidents or injuries in 2023. 

Reporting on-the-job accidents and injuries is required by OSHA, but it’s not just about record-keeping and awards. The reports provide an opportunity to revisit safe work practices.
