Newton electric department honored with ElectriCities safety award
Summary
ElectriCities presented Newton's electric department with a safety award, and the city received recognition for having zero lost work days due to on-the-job injury in 2021.
At the June 21 meeting Mark Todd, Senior Safety and Training Specialist at ElectriCities, presented the ElectriCities Safety Award to Newton's electric department.
Todd told council that "in 2021 the city of Newton’s electric department had zero lost days due to on the job injury," and he commended the department's safety practices. Mayor Eddie Haupt thanked the electric department on behalf of the council and thanked Todd for the presentation.
Why it matters: The award recognizes workplace safety practices in a department that performs public-service electrical work and suggests strong safety management within that utility division.
Next steps: No formal action was required; the mayor publicly thanked department staff.
