APPA Safety Award
The Marblehead Municipal Light Department is a member of the American Public Power Association (APPA). Each year we are in the running for the safety award. This award is presented only to utilities with outstanding safety records and comes with very prestigious national recognition.
Over the last twenty years, MMLD has been awarded a safety award, demonstrating that our commitment to providing safety awareness in the community also extends to our own workplace.
In 2009 MMLD was awarded the First Place award by APPA. We are very proud of our safety record, constantly training and monitoring all areas of our work environment.
Safety First!

Marblehead Light Department prides itself with it's safety training on a regular
basis. Our line crew as well as our meter department take every precaution to
maintain everyone's safety regarding electrical service to the residents of
Marblehead.
We hold monthly safety meetings here at our Commercial Street location for
all of our linemen, updating them on the safety issues that are apparent in
their jobs. Annually, they are tested on simulated pole top rescue procedures.
The safety equipment that we use on a daily basis is regularly inspected for
defects and possible updating.
