Mine Safety and Health Administration Presents Rare Safety Award to Pennsy Supply

March 24, 2006

Prescott Quarry achieves remarkable 10th consecutive citation-free inspection HARRISBURG, Pa., March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Officials from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), U.S. Department of Labor, yesterday presented Pennsy Supply, southcentral Pennsylvania's leading supplier of aggregate, concrete and asphalt, with a Certificate of Accomplishment as Pennsy continues to lead the way in surface mining safety. This unique and rarely bestowed award is in recognition of Pennsy's Prescott Quarry in Lebanon, Pa., completing 10 consecutive regular assessments without violation of the Mine Safety & Health Act of 1977. Ten consecutive citation-free inspections is a remarkable feat in the mining industry, with only one other facility in the Northeastern District earning this honor in the past 20 years. Pennsy, which operates 13 surface metal/non-metal mining quarries and 11 manufacturing plants that turn aggregate into asphalt and concrete, is also an active participant in MSHA's "Stay Out, Stay Alive" program and has partnered with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in a video promoting the program across the state.
