Strengthening the Coalition for Lineworker Safety: The ET&D Partnership Welcomes New River Electrical Corporation and Celebrates Aldridge Electric’s Full Membership Transition
The Electrical Transmission and Distribution National Partnership continues to grow its unified front against industry hazards. A safer workforce relies on the active collaboration of leading contractors, labor organizations, and regulatory partners. We are proud to announce two major milestones that strengthen our collective ability to protect men and women in the field.
New River Electrical Corporation has officially joined the Partnership as a new full member. Simultaneously, Aldridge Electric has transitioned into a full member of the organization. These developments mark a significant expansion of our shared resources, expertise, and commitment to achieving zero serious injuries and fatalities across the industry.
Welcoming New River Electrical Corporation to the Mission
Bringing New River Electrical into the Partnership adds a powerful advocate for field-level safety culture. As an established leader in the electrical construction industry, their team brings decades of operational experience and a proven dedication to workforce protection.
By joining the Partnership, New River Electrical aligns with a national model where employers, labor, and OSHA work together as agents of positive change. Their involvement will bring fresh perspectives to our task groups and help expand the reach of our Best Practices and safety supplements to more crews across the country.
Celebrating Aldridge Electric’s Transition to Full Member
Aldridge has taken a critical step forward by transitioning to a full member within the Partnership. This transition reflects their deep commitment to the organization’s goals and their active leadership in developing industry safety standards.
Full membership means a greater responsibility in shaping the future of powerline safety. Aldridge has consistently demonstrated the technical expertise and leadership required to move our industry forward. Their elevated role ensures that our safety initiatives remain practical, data-driven, and highly effective for the workers on the line.
A Unified Future for Powerline Safety
The strength of this Partnership lies in our shared belief that safety is a collective responsibility. As we welcome New River Electrical and celebrate the advancement of Aldridge, our core mission remains unchanged. We will continue to improve training, refine technical standards, and provide the field resources needed to ensure every worker returns home safely at the end of the day.
