US rental company Maxim Crane Works has won a safety award from its home state of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania Secretary of the Department of Labor & Industry, Johnny Butler, awarded Maxim Crane Works the Governor’s Award for Safety Excellence during festivities of the Governor’s Occupational Safety & Health Conference in Hershey, PA, this week.
