CNX Gas Employees Reach Another Safety Milestone

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 2  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Employees of CNX Gas Corporation (NYSE:CXG) recently surpassed the 4 million hour mark without experiencing a lost-time incident. The last recordable lost-time injury incurred by company employees was registered more than 15 years ago in 1994.  This achievement reaffirms the company's claim to be the safest operator in the exploration and production industry.

Nicholas J. DeIuliis, president and chief operating officer, remarked that in an extractive industry such as natural gas, commitments made to working safely are especially crucial. "This achievement illustrates the fervent and consistent commitment to working safely each of our employees makes to the company, to themselves, and to their families."

This milestone exemplifies the company's commitment to the "Absolute Zero" safety initiative adopted almost three years ago when all employees agreed to be at "Absolute Zero" with regard to the company's accident rate.  Mr. DeIuliis continued, "At CNX Gas, we don't view working safely as a priority, because priorities change over time; rather it's a value woven into our culture and instilled into each and every employee, whether they are stationed in an office, on a drilling rig, or even at home."

CNX GAS CORPORATION is the leading gas producer in the Appalachian Basin, when measured by revenue, net income, and safety. CNX Gas is 83.3% owned by CONSOL Energy Inc.
