                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 8, 1999

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Infineum's 
Linden Technology Center for being awarded the star site status by the 
Occupational Safety and Health Administration under its Voluntary 
Protection Program.
  A distinguished petroleum additives company, Infineum has continued 
to lead the way in employee health and safety. It has been an active 
force, committed to improving the quality of life for its employees and 
for the residents of the City of Linden and the State of New Jersey.
  Because of its dedication to achieving the utmost in safety 
regulations for its employees, Infineum's Linden Technology Center's 
program is one of the most comprehensive safety programs in the 
country. In fact, Infineum has voluntarily set the highest standards 
for safety and health at its facilities around the world.
  The OSHA Star, one of the highest honors awarded by the department, 
hails businesses that not only comply with OSHA's strict health and 
safety guidelines but also strive to surpass them through additional 
self-imposed restrictions. This year, the Linden Technology Center has 
achieved this level of excellence and is recognized as an OSHA star 
site.
  For its continued efforts in, and dedication to, occupational safety, 
I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Infineum's Linden 
Technology Center, its management team, and all of its employees on 
being named an OSHA star site.
