Every tool, machine and piece of material in our shipyard is a critical part of building the U.S. Navy’s strongest warships. Protecting them isn’t just about preventing loss, it’s about protecting the mission and the warfighter who depends on our work.
WHY IT MATTERS
Ensuring there are Zero Damages depends on each of us. Proper handling, storage and maintenance prevent mistakes that slow production or affect quality. Even minor damage can lead to major problems, as something may fail at a critical moment, creating preventable safety risks, delays in delivery, or costly rework.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
-
Cover equipment when not in use
-
Report any damage immediately, no matter how small
-
Handle tools carefully and use the right tool for the job
-
Take personal ownership of equipment and materials
-
Ask a teammate or supervisor if you’re unsure. Learning from each other keeps everyone safe and productive
Zero Damages isn’t just a goal. It’s our commitment to building the strongest, safest ships possible while upholding our values. Every action you take and every tool you protect helps ensure the quality of our work is never compromised.
Zero Fires. Zero Injuries. Zero Damages. Zero Compromise.
