Inc. of Essington, PA, has been awarded SHARP certification
(Safety & Health Achievement Recognition Program) through OSHA. This rating

SHARP certification was awarded to Esstech after an on-site audit of its
utility operations. OSHA inspectors rated Esstech on more than 50 items ranging
from hazard prevention and safety and health training to management supervision
and employee participation. Companies must meet or exceed OSHA standards in
every category to receive SHARP certification.
Esstech will formally receive the award during a ceremony at their facility,
