Naval Base Kitsap (NBK)
picked up a first place for
the 2010 Chief of Naval
Operations (CNO) Safety and
Occupational Health Shore
Safety award March 15.
“We won by having the
best safety programs in the
Navy, we implemented all
the required safety programs
and took additional initiatives to decrease the number
of mishaps that occur on
base,” said Michael Hoyt, the
safety manager for NBK.
There are six CNO safety
awards distributed to different
naval base’s each year naming
NBK the best as far as safety
is concerned. This is a step
up from last year, where NBK
came in third place.
“This is definitely an
outstanding achievement
for NBK,” said Capt. Mark
Olson, NBK commanding officer, when the safety
award was presented.
“It has truly been a team
effort between the safety
and NBK staff members,”
said Hoyt. “It is everyone’s
hard work and dedication on
keeping safety the forefront
in everything we do and we
are all doing our best.”
NBK’s safety department
not only supports NBK,
but other tenants across
the installations including Personnel Support
Detachment,
Transient
Personnel Unit, Naval Brig,
and the Fleet and Industrial
Supply Center.
