Shurtape Technologies LLC announced that several of its facilities have received the North Carolina Department of Labor (NCDOL) Safety Awards for 2025 safety performance. This year, the company’s facilities received seven gold awards and one silver award.

To qualify for a safety award, companies must maintain an incident rate of at least 50% below their industry average. According to the NCDOL, the program is designed to stimulate interest in accident prevention and promote safety in the workplace safety by providing employers and employees with an incentive to maintain a safe and healthy environment.
