Mayport Inspector Gets Gold STAR

The STAR incentive program is intended to recognize individuals and groups that make significant contributions to the command's safety program. It recognizes effort above and beyond minimum performance specifically in a manner that reduces mishaps and thereby contributes to current and future readiness.

Williams, on multiple occasions, recognized potential problems and took action to prevent the opportunity for mishaps and protected the Navy's interest.

"Thanks to Danny's continued diligence and dedication, he has protected the Navy's interest," commented Dr. David Folk, NAVFAC Southeast safety and health manager. "It is an honor to make Danny Williams the first recipient of the NAVFAC Southeast STAR Award.

Voluntarily, Williams provided an inspection of cranes and identified safety discrepancies which prompted the contractor to service them before use. These findings have prompted further improvements in the uses of the cranes on the site.

"Through Williams' continued diligence and dedication, he has protected the Navy's assets and the safety of our Sailors," concluded Folk.

It is through programs like this that continue to prove success with NAVFAC Southeast having one of the best safety records. Dedicated employees, such as Williams, provide NAVFAC customers with the highest level of trust and compassion in Safety.
