SRNS Divisions Win Coveted Safety Achievement Awards
Thursday, August 20th, 2020
Two Savannah River Site Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) divisions, Operations and Construction, were recently honored with safety awards from the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulations (SCLRR).
The SCLLR safety awards reflect safety achievements from the 2019 calendar year and high- light successful safety programs across the state of South Carolina. This is the fifth consecutive year SRNS has been the recipient of these awards.
SRNS Operations was awarded the Palmetto Shining Star Award for their commendable safety performance in 2019. To receive this award, a company must meet at least one of several important criteria, such as achieving a safety case rate that is 75 percent or below the 2018 South Carolina average rate for the industry.
SRNS Construction received the Rising Star Award for their 2019 safety performance. Winners of this award must demonstrate a 2019 incidence rate that is at least 75 percent lower than the 2018 national average incidence rate for the respective industry.
SRNS Executive Vice President & COO Dennis Carr recognized employees’ initiative in providing a safe work environment.
“In 2019, SRNS underwent extensive work to continue modernizing aging infrastructure while propelling our important environmental, research and nuclear manage- ment missions forward,” said Carr. “SRNS employees complete these diverse missions with safety at the heart of all work performed and year-after-year their commitment proves successful.”
This year’s SCLLR awards ceremony was canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions, but SRNS and 30 other safety award recipients were honored by the SCLLR with a tribute video.
