FORT RUCKER, Ala. (April 18, 2013) - The U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center today named winners of the Fiscal 2012 Secretary of the Army and Army Chief of Staff Safety Awards.
The annual awards are presented to units and individuals for excellence in safety and risk management.
"This is a wonderful program that allows us to recognize those Soldiers, civilians and organizations going the extra mile for safety," said Brig. Gen. Timothy J. Edens, director of Army Safety and commanding general, USACR/Safety Center. "It's a way for senior Army leaders to thank them for their critical role in helping preserve our force, and hopefully inspire others to follow suit."
According to Department of the Army Pamphlet 385-10, Army Safety Program, both individuals and units must have made significant improvements and contributions to accident prevention efforts, among other criteria, to be considered for an award. Nominations are submitted for actions taken during the preceding fiscal year.
