C/G Electrodes announced yesterday that Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell, on behalf of the State’s Department of Labor & Industry, awarded C/G Electrodes with its Governor’s Award for Safety Excellence at a special luncheon at the annual Governor’s Occupational Safety and Health Conference in Hershey on October 19.

The selection process for the Governor’s Award for Safety Excellence was an arduous one in which C/G was one of 75 companies to be considered for the award and selected as one of 15 semi-finalists.  After becoming a semi-finalist, the company was host to an on-site visit by officials from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, and ultimately, chosen as one of 10 companies to be named a winner.
