Infineum USA Receives High Honors for its Industrial Safety Record

On July 11th, Infineum USA L.P. and its employees were honored for their excellence in safety performance during the first half of 2002.

At a celebratory breakfast, Infineum employees gathered to be recognized by supervisors and government officials for their outstanding effort in safety practices. So far in 2002, numerous state and national organizations have recognized the Infineum USA L.P. Linden sites for their outstanding safety record.

One of the highlights of the event was a letter of recognition and a personal note from Congressman Mike Ferguson, 7th district, which were presented by Ronie Desmond, the congressman's project manager. The letter and note were in complement to the Governor's Awards and the numerous departmental awards of merit from the New Jersey State Department of Labor received earlier this year. In his note, the congressman thanked Infineum employees for the "leadership and service you provide to our country" and to the "Models of Safety Health Act of 2001."

The Governor's Award is the highest award bestowed by the New Jersey State Department of Labor. This award is given to a company or facility for working four consecutive calendar years without lost time from a work-related injury or illness. Infineum employees have completed over four million hours without a lost time injury.

Other awards highlighted at the event were the Responsible Care® Employee Health & Safety Code certificates of excellence for 2001 awarded by the American Chemistry Council, a national trade organization.
