Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) Operations and Construction divisions were recently honored by the South Carolina Manufacturers Alliance (SCMA) for outstanding workplace safety accomplishments during 2024. This is the fourth consecutive year that SRNS has received this award.

To qualify for nomination, companies must achieve a low incident rate resulting in lost workdays, job transfers, or restrictions. Plants that had an incident rate below the statewide average for their North American Industry Classification System code earned the award, with 105 industrial facilities across the United States recognized in total.

In 2024, SRNS achieved stretches of over one million hours without a lost workday on seven occasions, culminating in 4.6 million consecutive hours without a lost workday by the end of the calendar year. In addition, SRNS-Construction completed the entire calendar year without a single lost workday, totaling an average of over 1.7 million hours worked incident-free.

Serving as the voice of manufacturing in South Carolina since 1902, the SCMA helps preserve and advance the economic success of manufactures in South Carolina.

“Taking pride in our workforce – and taking care of our hardworking employees who put their own personal mark on South Carolina-made products – means taking pride in the safety of the facilities where they work,” said Sara Hazzard, President and CEO of the South Carolina Manufacturers Alliance. “As we once again recognize the very best in our companies – which ensure safety is a top priority – it is always important to acknowledge that our SCMA Safety Award Winners are among our most innovative and creative stars on the manufacturing landscape.”

Safety and Health Director, Diana Bowers, believes that a strong safety culture is the foundation of SRNS’ success and the driving force behind their missions. “This award is a testament to the dedication of our workforce, who makes safety a priority in everything they do,” she stated. “By embedding safety into our everyday practices, we not only ensure the well-being of our team, but that all our operations are carried out efficiently and risk is minimized. SRNS is honored to be recognized yet again for our commitment to workplace safety, which we look forward to maintaining and strengthening in the years to come.”
