Austal Wins Three Safety Awards

 Mobile-based Austal USA has announced it received three industry safety awards so far this year. Austal was recognized by America Equity Underwriters (AEU) with the 2023 AEU Safety Award and by the Shipbuilder’s Council of America (SCA) with SCA’s 2023 Excellence in Safety and Improvement in Safety awards. These awards bring Austal’s total safety award count to 27 in the last 15 years. SCA’s Excellence in Safety award is based on Austal having maintained a total recordable incident rate well below SCA members’ average. The company’s shipbuilding team was also recognized for improvement in safety due to the reduction in incident rates by more than 10% from last year. For AEU, Austal USA is one of only 35 of AEU’s 1,800 waterfront employer customers being honored for safety.
