Scott Specialty Gases has been named recipient of the Compressed Gas Association's fleet safety award for 2006
The award recognises Scott's outstanding safety performance among its fleet of cylinder delivery trucks driving under 3,000,000 miles.
CGA's Fleet Safety Awards were created in 1988 and are based on a member company's total accident frequency rate.
Scott previously won the award in 1994, 1995, 1997 and 1998.
