LOUISVILLE, KY (July 8, 2013) – Charah®, Inc., a total solutions company providing unparalleled service and innovation for the coal-fired electric utility industry, has received two additional prestigious awards for an outstanding record of employee safety from the North Carolina Department of Labor (NCDOL). In June, Charah was recognized for its safety record at its engineered fill project at the Greater Asheville Regional Airport, in conjunction with Duke Energy’s Asheville Power Plant, and for its ash processing, landfill operations and landfill management project at Duke’s Marshall Power Plant. Charah’s landfill construction, operations and management project, located at Duke’s Roxboro Power Plant, received a Certificate of Safety Achievement on April 16, 2013. This is the second year in a row that Charah has been recognized by NCDOL for its safety record.
The company’s Gold-level Certificate of Safety Achievement, the state’s highest safety award, was presented by North Carolina Commissioner of Labor Cherie Berry, in recognition of Charah’s outstanding safety and health efforts and the promotion of safe working conditions in 2012, at award ceremonies in Asheville and Hickory, North Carolina.
This annual awards program, run by the NCDOL, recognizes companies that strive to excel in safety. Each year the state awards more than 2,000 certificates to companies around the state. In order to qualify for the Gold award, each company must have ten or more full time employees, must have had no fatalities during the calendar year at the site or location for which the award is given; and must have maintained an incident rate at least 50% below the average for its particular industry group.
“We are honored to receive these additional awards from the North Carolina Department of Labor in recognition of our uncompromising commitment to safety,” said Charles Price, President and CEO of Charah. “Safety is our foremost priority and we are always exploring new ways to improve our worksites and our employees’ attention to safety. Congratulations to all the Asheville and Marshall site personnel on achieving this milestone.”
