About NFSY

3

NFSY puts the safety of all customers, employees, contractors, and any guests before

anything else. We believe safety should always come first, and we strictly follow all

OSHA Laws and regulations in order to protect our employees and customers.

NFSY is a self-insured business, which makes safety an extremely high priority. We

want to minimize and eliminate as many potential hazards as possible.

In order to prevent safety hazards, NFSY has developed many standard operating

procedures in order to provide all individuals with guidelines on how to handle various

situations to abide by all OSHA regulations. Such procedures include environmental

management and hazmat waste plans, heavy weather plans, toxic hazardous

substance control, Quality Assurance training, fire protection plans, etc.

Our safety coordinators at both our Commodores Point and Mayport facilities are

responsible for the safety and injury care of the entire yard. The safety department is

constantly in the yard ensuring all employees follow safety rules and regulations put in

place to protect everyone in the yard. All persons in the yard must wear steel toe safety

boots, safety glasses, and a hard hat. All persons and employees are expected to follow

all safety policies and procedures.

Ship repair requires many hard laborious activities that could be potentially harmful to

individuals if the proper safety policies are not put in place. All employees are provided

with the proper training and safety information before they enter the field. We encourage

all employees to report any injuries, regardless of the severity. We want to ensure all

injuries are treated, and that employees are able to get proper care. We also want to

guarantee a safe work environment for all individuals, and can only do so if potential

dangers are reported to management.

NFSY believes all accidents can be prevented

and that management is the one responsible

for that prevention. As stated before safety is

the number one priority, and we intend to make

sure all standard operating policies and

procedures are followed and enforced in

conjunction with all OSHA Laws and

regulations.
