JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Concurrent Technologies Corporation's (CTC's) Johnstown, PA location was one of 10 recipients of the 2009 Governor's Award for Safety Excellence (GASE) honored at the PA Governor's Occupational Safety & Health Conference in Hershey, PA on October 19-20, 2009.

The purpose of the GASE award is to recognize organizations with outstanding safety and prevention programs and the superior management/employee collaborations that make these programs so successful. CTC submitted an application in June 2009 that was reviewed by the WorkSAFE PA Advisory Board. The Advisory Board chose 15 semi-finalists for additional review from the approximately 100 applicants. GASE recipients were notified at the end of September of their accomplishment.

"We are proud to be a recipient of this award," said Edward J. Sheehan Jr., CTC's President & CEO, "as we are proud of our safety record and of the mutual commitment of employees and management to ensure that the CTC workplace is safe. This award recognizes the efforts of our employees to ensure continuous improvement in our safety program."

At CTC, employee involvement includes activities such as safety walkthroughs of work areas, promotion of "off-the-job" safety, and the development of an automated, online system for employees to report safety concerns and suggestions.

Several members of CTC's Safety Committee and Company Executive Management Team attended the Conference to receive the award. Also in attendance with CTC were invited guests State Senator John Wozniak, State Representative Bryan Barbin, and Vice President of the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, Gene Barr.
