Mike Holt’s State Rating of the Electrical Industry - 2013

As part of our ongoing commitment to safety in the electrical community, we annually update our report that rates and assigns a safety grade to each of the U.S. states.

The standard for measurement in these findings and the ‘points’ assigned are based on adoption of the most current Code on a state-wide level, requirement for licensing for Apprentices, Journeymen, Master Electricians, Inspectors and Professional Engineers, as well as the requirement for continuing education for license renewal at the state level for all of these classifications.

Important note: We know that there are many safe counties and municipalities that take licensing and enforcement seriously.  This is not necessarily reflected in the data reported here because this analysis is based on a uniform standard, which is the State’s adoption of the requirements - and not local.

Congratulations to the following States for their A+ rating. These states have set the standard for electrical safety:
