| Electrix has won the Supreme Award at the 2011 Safeguard Health and Safety Awards. The company won two category awards – Wellness and Design – and impressed the judges by its willingness to experiment to see what worked, to overcome multiple issues, and then implement the best solution. The judges felt the gym challenge programme (Wellness category) and the solution to equipotential zones in live line work (Design category) both demonstrated an admirable degree of commitment to protecting the health and safety of people. |

The awards, now in their seventh year, are organised by Safeguard magazine and supported by the Department of Labour. The awards are judged by an independent panel representing the Department of Labour, ACC, NZ Council of Trade Unions, Safeguard, and an industry health and safety practitioner. |
| SICK Award Best Design or Technology Initiative. Designed an efficient and effective means of creating an equipotential zone while working on live overhead power lines, significantly reducing the risk of shock. Multiple design issues were overcome involving di-electric boots, pole shrouds and bonding leads. (as seen in the photo) |
| Vitae Award Best Initiative to improve employee wellness. Linemen’s continuing musculoskeletal injuries prompted considerable research and the development of a 12-week gym challenge programme for existing staff and for new recruits. A parallel programme has been developed for office staff. Applicants are tested for physical capacity before being accepted into an unusually arduous job. Injuries have declined and the company’s culture has benefited. The linemen are shown working out in the Electrix Gym. |
