Danos & Curole was recently awarded Chevron Pipe Line Company's 2009 Health, Environment & Safety Leadership Commitment Award. This award was presented during CPL's Contractor Regional Engagement meeting in Covington last week and accepted on behalf of Danos & Curole by Mike Bradshaw (HSE Safety Director) and Jeremy Adkins (Project Coordinator) who were in attendance at the meeting.

During 2009, most of the work Danos & Curole executed for CPL was by the Coatings Division who, in their first full year of operations, worked the entire year without a single recordable injury.

The criteria for this award are as follows:

• Overall TRIR of less than 1.0
• CPL TRIR less than annual goal of 0.60
• No reported spills
• Greater than 3,000 work hours
• Zero CPL motor vehicle crashes

"We are proud once again to be recognized for Danos & Curole's commitment to safety and operational excellence by one of our customers. This award is evidence of the hard work of our personnel in the field who serve our customers every day and the staff who support them," Eric Danos, Vice President of Administration.
