The Shipbuilders Council of America (SCA) announced the recipients of its annual shipyard safety awards. SCA recognized nine U.S. shipyards, with BAE Systems Norfolk Ship Repair and Bollinger Shipyards receiving both the "Excellence in Safety" and "Improvement in Safety" awards. All recipients showed exemplary operations standards and prioritized safety and accident prevention to the highest degree, despite the challenges posed to the industry by Covid-19 throughout 2020, SCA said. "U.S. shipyards are dedicated to upholding the highest safety standards and advancing safe practices for our workforce, and as such, were prepared and ready to take on the challenges brought on by Covid-19," SCA President Matthew Paxton said. "We commend these yards for not only rising to the occasion to keep our country operating during the pandemic, but also for continuing to prioritize the well-being of this essential workforce." |
