At the heart of our mission as shipbuilders is a commitment to our core values: Safety, Responsibility, Engagement, Integrity, Performance and Respect. Each of us must uphold these values so we can keep ourselves and each other safe.

The Near Miss program is an essential part of our mission to create a safe environment, ensuring we can all work together to prevent accidents before they happen.

Why the Near Miss Program Matters

Recognizing and reporting near misses — situations that could have resulted in injury or damage but didn’t — empowers us to learn and improve continuously. This proactive approach not only protects our shipbuilders but also safeguards the quality of the world-class ships we build. 

Your Voice Matters

Every shipbuilder has the authority and responsibility to speak up for safety. When you notice a near miss, your voice is crucial in raising awareness and driving positive change. By sharing your observations, you contribute to a culture of accountability and respect, where everyone’s input helps create a safer work environment.

Zero In on Safety

Our commitment to safety means we don’t settle for anything less than the highest safety standards. By reporting a near miss, you help foster an environment where every detail counts and your engagement is key. Together, we can identify potential hazards, prevent incidents and ensure that safety and quality remain at the forefront of our work.

Join Us in Making a Difference

By using your voice to advocate for safety, you’re not only protecting yourself, your fellow shipbuilders and the Marines and Sailors who will one day serve on the ships we build.
