HII's SN3 Subsidiary Records 1 Million Safe Hours


NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Oct. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) announced today that its SN3 (Stoller Newport News Nuclear) subsidiary has recorded more than 1 million safe hours since its last Occupational Safety and Health Administration lost work day case.

"Worker safety is a core value," said SN3 President Nick Lombardo. "This milestone acknowledges the hard work and dedication of our employees to support our DOE client."

SN3 team members and subcontractors clocked 1 million safe hours through their work with the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Legacy Management. The company supports Legacy Management's post-closure responsibilities at more than 100 work locations throughout the contiguous U.S., Puerto Rico and the Aleutian Islands.

During these 1 million safe hours, SN3 initiated an assessment of the Legacy Management Support Integrated Safety Management System and Voluntary Protection Program to identify improvements necessary to support safety performance, with a goal of achieving a recordable case rate substantially below the DOE complex annual average.

SN3 is a full-service nuclear operations and environmental services company that combines the expertise of HII's S.M. Stoller Corp. and Newport News Nuclear subsidiaries. Based in Broomfield, Colorado, the new company, announced January, provides Department of Energy and Department of Defense markets with a one-stop resource for nuclear operations and environmental service capabilities.

Huntington Ingalls Industries is America's largest military shipbuilding company and a provider of manufacturing, engineering and management services to the nuclear energy, oil and gas markets. For more than a century, HII's Newport News and Ingalls shipbuilding divisions in Virginia and Mississippi have built more ships in more ship classes than any other U.S. naval shipbuilder. Headquartered in Newport News, Virginia, HII employs approximately 38,000 people operating both domestically and internationally. For more information, visit:
