  • MGE’s Occupational Health and Safety Policy recognizes the risks inherent to occupational health and safety and embraces safe work practices and environments as fundamental values at MGE. 
  • When notified of a potential natural gas emergency, MGE crews continue to earn high marks. In 2022, our total response time ranked in the top 12% of a nationwide industry survey.

  • As part of our ongoing commitment to safety and continuous improvement, MGE introduced an at-home safety platform designed to emphasize our safety culture with employees beyond our workplace and to bring safety home. The Bring Safety Home SharePoint site shares at-home safety information, tips, training, checklists and other resources.
