Stuart MacVean, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) president and CEO, was recognized by the National Safety Council (NSC) as a 2020 CEOs Who “Get It.” The NSC’s recognition is bestowed to a small number of CEO’s from companies worldwide who go the extra mile to protect employees both on-and-off the job.

Since becoming SRNS’ president and CEO in 2016, MacVean has actively led a portfolio of safety and health programs designed to modernize and enhance the safety culture, wellness and training at SRNS and in the community.

MacVean has addressed the generational shift at SRS by leading enhancements to onboarding and mentoring programs to accelerate hiring and training in support of vital Site missions. His vision led to the creation of a new program that provides direct access to SRNS senior leaders who teach training modules for employees after 90-days of joining the company. The program allows new employees to get a broader understanding of company expectations and the safety culture that makes SRS one of the
safest industrial sites in the world.

In 2019, MacVean led the SRNS workforce to a new company safety record, exceeding 25 Million safe-work hours without a lost work day due to an onthe-job injury.

“One of Stuart’s most recognizable character traits is his authentic concern for worker safety and health. He takes safety personally and goes the extra mile to inspire employee ownership for safety performance while also bolstering hazard recognition and control mechanisms in work package development,” said Rick Sprague, Senior Vice President, Environmental, Safety, Health and Quality.

The February issue of NSC’s Safety+Health magazine will feature MacVean and the 8 other national and international recipients of the 2020 CEO’s Who “Get It” title.
