  Keeping Our People Safe

Each BAE Systems shipyard has an established safety program, actively enforced by a safety organization zealously committed to eliminating the risk of personal injury and property damage in the workplace. Our safety personnel perform both scheduled and unscheduled work site inspections on each ship in the yard.

Our production coordinators and QA inspectors are on-site constantly and are intimately familiar with all work in progress. Safety Committees meet regularly to discuss accident prevention, enforcement of safety requirements and new safety requirements. Continued emphasis on safety training is an important factor in the ongoing efforts to improve upon our safety records. Our subcontractors also receive very specific safety guidelines. As a result of our stringent safety policies, BAE Systems shipyards have reduced their workers’ compensation cost rate to levels considerably below industry standards. Safe Ship of the Week incentive programs greatly enhance the importance of safety awareness among our work force. Recently, both our San Diego and Norfolk shipyards joined with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration worker safety program to demonstrate our fervent commitment to the health and safety of our people.
