Rising Edge Named Canada’s Safest Utilities and Electrical Employer

National award recognizes the people who make safety part of every job, every day.

A National Win for Our People

Rising Edge Group has been named Canada’s Safest Utilities and Electrical Employer, winning the MWG Apparel Award in its category at the 2026 Canada’s Safest Employers Awards.

Presented by Canadian Occupational Safety, the Canada’s Safest Employers Awards celebrate organizations across the country that go above and beyond to protect the health and safety of their workers. For a company that builds and maintains high-voltage infrastructure, where the stakes are high every day, the recognition carries special meaning.

The award reflects the dedication, accountability and care that Rising Edge employees bring to their work, whether they’re on a job site, in the field, in the shop or supporting operations behind the scenes.

Safety Leads Everything We Do

At Rising Edge, safety isn’t a program. It’s the first of the company’s STRIDE core values: Safety, Teamwork, Responsibility, Integrity, Deliver and Excellence. It sets the tone for how crews plan their work, look out for one another and make decisions on site.

“This award belongs to every single person at Rising Edge. A strong safety culture isn’t built by one team or one policy. It’s built by people who care about their work, take responsibility for their actions and look out for each other, every shift, on every site. Our crews work in some of the most demanding environments in the energy sector, and their commitment to making sure everyone gets home safely is what earned this recognition. I couldn’t be prouder of our team.”

Erin Donovan, Director of Health, Safety, Environment and Quality (HSEQ), Rising Edge Group

Building that culture takes continuous effort. It means speaking up when something doesn’t look right, supporting teammates and never losing sight of what matters most: making sure everyone goes home safe at the end of the day.

Thank You, Team

To every employee across Rising Edge: thank you for making our organization one of Canada’s safest places to work. You earned this recognition, and we’re proud to celebrate it with you.

A special thank you also goes to everyone who took part in the nomination process and shared their feedback. Your voices helped tell our story.

As Rising Edge approaches its 25th year, this award is a reminder that how we work matters just as much as what we build.
