Safety is a top priority here at GUC. The NC Department of Labor (NCDOL) and the Greenville-Pitt Chamber of Commerce recently recognized our efforts to work safely at the annual Safety Banquet on April 21st. For some of our departments, this was the tenth consecutive year earning awards at the banquet. In all, we were honored with 16 safety awards.

Gold Level Awards were presented to companies with days away from work, job transfers or restricted time rates at least 50% below industry average. Awards at this level went to Administration and Administration Building (10th year for both), Express Office (10th year), Human Resources (10th year), Information Technology (10th year), Wastewater Treatment Plant (10th year), Customer Relations (4th year), Red Banks (3rd year), Meter (3rd year), Gardner Training Center (2nd year), Finance (2nd year).

Silver Level Awards were presented to companies with days away from work rates at least 50% below industry average. Awards at this level went to the Electric Department (2nd year), Water Resources (1st year), Gas Department and Utility Locating (1st year), Engineering and Operations (1st year), and GUC as a whole (1st year).

NCDOL's Safety Awards Program was established in 1946 and recognizes private and public firms throughout the state that maintain good safety records.

Congratulations to all on a job well done — safely!
