American Safety
American Safety Utility Corporation was formed in 1982 in Forest City, NC. We are dedicated to providing the finest quality lineman tools & equipment.
We are dedicated to providing the finest quality lineman tools, lineman equipment and other utility supplies available and extending to our customers the personal touch that is synonymous with quality. As we broadened our product line of occupational protective equipment and related tools we also had to expand. In October 1984, American Safety was relocated to a larger facility in Shelby, NC. In 1991, we had grown too large for the facility we were in and the current corporate headquarters was built. The building consists of 40,000 square feet and over 30 employees. American Safety ships products all around the United States and the world. American Safety has a certified NAIL for PET (North American Independent Laboratories for Protective Equipment Testing) rubber goods testing lab. American Safety has one of the quickest turnarounds of rubber goods testing which, in most cases, is ten days. Each rubber good that is tested is washed, tested, hand and visually inspected and dated. Each employee of American Safety puts pride in their work and the safety of our clients is the first and foremost most important goal. American Safety has an in-house repair facility that also builds jumpers and grounds and tests and certifies hotsticks and shotgun sticks. American Safety's certified repair specialists are able to repair Streamlight rechargeable lights, Burndy products, Greenlee/Fairmont products, hoists, hydraulic tools, fiberglass sticks and poles, collapsible reels and much more. We are able to re-certify many products; hoists, grounds & jumpers, and hotsticks. American Safety builds custom jumpers and grounds. We have a wide variety of heads and cables to choose from. Next day and two day services are available.

Happy 44th Birthday, American Safety! 🇺🇸🎉
Today we proudly celebrate 44 years of serving the utility industry with integrity, excellence, and an unwavering commitment to safety.
Since July 1, 1982, when Buddy Price founded American Safety in Shelby, North Carolina, our mission has remained the same: to protect the men and women who keep America’s lights on. What began as a single test truck and a vision has grown into one of the nation’s trusted names in high-voltage testing and utility safety.
In 2016, the company entered a new chapter when Andy Price purchased American Safety, continuing the family legacy while expanding its capabilities, investing in new technology, and growing the company to serve customers across the country.
Today, American Safety proudly operates from Shelby, North Carolina, and Leesburg, Florida, allowing us to better serve the utility industry throughout the Southeast and beyond.
As we celebrate this milestone, we want to express our sincere gratitude:
* To our current employees — thank you for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence every day.
* To our past employees — thank you for helping build the strong foundation that has made American Safety what it is today.
* To our loyal customers — thank you for your trust and partnership over the past 44 years. We are honored to serve you and appreciate the confidence you place in our team.
* Most importantly, we thank God for His countless blessings, His protection, and His faithfulness throughout this incredible journey. We recognize that every success we have achieved is because of His grace and guidance.
As we celebrate our past, we remain focused on the future—continuing to invest in our people, our customers, and the highest standards of safety.
Here’s to 44 years of protecting those who power America—and to many more years of serving with integrity, excellence, and faith.
Happy 44th Birthday, American Safety!
