From Naval Facilities Engineering Command Public Affairs
NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) -- Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic was awarded the Secretary of the Navy 2010 Safety Excellence Award in the Ashore, Industrial Category C category in ALNAV 060/10, released Sept. 8 to all Navy and Marine Corps personnel.
NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic is responsible for the public works support, planning, design, and construction of shore facilities for the U.S. Navy from Maine to North Carolina.
Earlier this year the command was awarded the Chief of Naval Operations Shore Safety Award, making the command eligible to compete for this latest honor.
"This award is recognition of our employees' tremendous efforts, day in and day out, to ensure that they execute the command's vital mission while taking care of themselves and all of those around them," said Capt. Mark Libonate, NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic commanding officer.
According to Steven Geiger, NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic safety officer, safety starts with getting every one of the command's 3,500 employees involved with safety. He added that a series of contractor safety forums this year have extended the command's safety culture to the construction contractors that perform work on military installations.
Geiger also said NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic has plans to begin an employee-driven safety committee in order further promote a safe working environment.
