Who We Are

Second-Generation Excellence in Electrical Contracting

Founded in 1980 by Arthur F. Murphy, A. Murphy Inc. has grown into one of New England's most respected electrical contracting firms. Today, brothers Brian and Michael Murphy — each with over 30 years of industry experience — continue their father's legacy of quality and integrity.

Our Commitment

Safety Is Not a Priority — It's a Culture

At A. Murphy Inc., safety isn't a compliance checkbox. It's embedded in every job, every morning meeting, every toolbox talk. Our 2018 EMR rating of .079 reflects years of zero-tolerance training and constant communication across every project site.

OSHA 500-Certified Safety Officer

Keith Prendergast, with 10+ years of safety instruction through the JATC program, manages daily compliance and keeps our team current on every regulation.

Job Hazard Analysis on Every Project

Superintendents and foremen discuss accident prevention before breaking ground. Site inspections identify hazard-prone areas on new and long-term projects alike.

100% Head & Eye Protection Policy

Hard hats and safety glasses are mandatory on all construction sites. All PPE — respirators, fall protection, high-voltage testers — is logged and tested per schedule.

Method of Procedures (MOP)

Detailed shutdown tasks, safety checks, and lockout/tag-out protocols distributed to every team member before each critical task begins.
