The Naval Safety Center (NAVSAFECEN) reminds those across the Naval Enterprise that distracted driving continues to be a prevalent and risky issue nationwide. Distracted driving comes in many forms and steering clear is necessary at all times.

The Naval Safety Center (NAVSAFECEN) launched a Motor Vehicle Safety Campaign April 26 to increase awareness on the top contributing factors to motor vehicle accidents and inform Sailors and Marines on ways they can reduce the likelihood and severity of motor vehicle mishaps through appropriate risk management strategies and best practices.

Summer is almost upon us and it is, once again, time for the Naval Safety Center’s (NAVSAFECEN) annual 101 Critical Days of Summer safety campaign. Summer is the longest vacation period of the year. As the restrictions of COVID-19 begin to relax across the globe in compliance with country, state and military base guidelines, there will be an increase in people who are out enjoying the sunshine and warm weather, swimming, boating, playing and traveling.

A new naval program now enables safety professionals throughout the Navy and Marine Corps to receive a certificate attesting they have completed the competency development training necessary to perform their duties.

The Naval Safety Center (NAVSAFECEN) has kicked off a line of effort to refine and align safety professionals’ competencies across the Naval Enterprise. “We are deliberately looking at human talent to ensure that we provide standardized training, development, and quality of service to improve our brand as your safety advocate,” said Rear Adm. F.R. Luchtman, NAVSAFECEN Commander. “Standardized safety professional development directly complements the force’s ability to achieve operational readiness to decisively win in the battlespace.”
