LOUISVILLE, KY (July 15, 2015) – Charah®, Inc., a total solutions company providing unparalleled service and innovation for the coal-fired electric utility industry, has received a total of five prestigious awards from the North Carolina Department of Labor (NCDOL) for an outstanding record of employee safety. This is the fourth year in a row that Charah has been recognized by NCDOL for its safety record.
In June 2015, Charah was recognized for its safety record for its ash processing, landfill operations and landfill management project at Duke Energy’s Allen Steam Station in Gaston County, North Carolina and for its similar operations at Duke’s Marshall Steam Station in Catawba County, North Carolina. An additional award was given to Charah’s engineered fill project at the Greater Asheville Regional Airport, in conjunction with Duke’s Asheville Power Plant. All three sites received a Gold-level Certificate of Safety Achievement, the state’s highest safety award, in recognition of Charah’s outstanding safety and health efforts and the promotion of safe working conditions in 2014. Awards were presented by North Carolina Commissioner of Labor Cherie Berry. This is the third consecutive year that Charah’s Asheville and Marshall operations have achieved this milestone.
In April 2015, two other Charah landfill construction, operations and management projects, located at Duke Energy’s Cliffside Steam Station in Shelby, North Carolina and at Duke Energy’s Roxboro Steam Plant in Roxboro, North Carolina, also received a Gold-level Certificate of Safety Achievement for outstanding safety and health efforts and the promotion of safe working conditions in 2014. This is the fourth consecutive year that Charah’s Roxboro operations have achieved this milestone.
This annual awards program, run by the NCDOL, recognizes companies that strive to excel in safety. Each year the state awards more than 1,500 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 lost time accidents and also must have achieved incident rates 50% below their SIC code.
“We are honored to continue to receive these awards from the North Carolina Department of Labor year after year in recognition of our 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.
