The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

Recognition of Safety Achievement Program

NECA's Safety Recognition Program includes two categories: Safety Excellence and Zero-Injury Achievement.

NECA’s Recognition of Safety Achievement program is an elite safety recognition focused on recognizing thriving companies that excel in multiple areas of their safety and health programs. Member companies that consistently show no injuries, illnesses or fatalities and implement internal company safety practices above and beyond basic compliance will continue to be recognized with our Zero-Injury Recognition program. New criteria for Safety Excellence were introduced in 2025. The new criteria follows the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) and overall safety industry focus on companies that implement internal company safety practices above and beyond basic compliance and show an absence of serious injuries and fatalities.

 

Safety Excellence Recognition (NEW CRITERIA)

Safety Leaders and OSHA have learned while recordables have been driven steadily downward serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) have not. The elite companies that successfully address SIFs need to be recognized. The Safety Excellence is the association’s premier recognition program and acknowledges member-contractors’ safety performance.

  • Days Away, Restricted and Transfer (DART) Rate: Equal to or less than National Average
  • Lost Workday Case Rate (LWDCR): Equal to or less than the National Average
  • Severe Injuries (as defined by OSHA):
  • Fatalities: 0

When registering, contractors will automatically be entered into the Zero Injury and Safety Excellence Safety Recognition Program. Those who are recognized are selected based on their comparison to BLS data and electrical contractors.

NECA Safety Ambassadors Medal

The NECA Safety Ambassadors Medal recognizes the top NECA member that has exemplified superior performance in the area of safety providing leadership, support and recognition to employees that lead by example. The NECA Safety Ambassadors medal recipient is selected for achieving a superior safety performance score in the NECA Recognition of Safety Achievement Programs. This cumulative score is based on a point system for having injury and illness rates and an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) which are better than the BLS Statistics, OSHA, insurance, and industry safety standards.
