The Compressed Gas Association (CGA) has recognized BOC Gases, a U.S. affiliate of The Linde Group, for excellent safety performance in 2006.
The company was presented with both the groups Leonard Parker Pool Safety Award, and one of its Fleet Safety Awards at the industry trade group’s annual meeting in Florida this month.
