The safeguards and security branch of Hanford Site support services contractor Mission Support Alliance has accumulated 1.1 million safe work hours without a lost workday injury, the Department of Energy announced Tuesday. The safeguards and security team includes the Hanford Patrol and other security operations, security analysis, and safeguards across the Hanford Site.
Employees participate in extensive protective force training, performance testing of personnel, maintenance and testing of security systems, and inventories of material in hazardous environments, according to DOE. “This is a major accomplishment considering some of the high-risk activities our men and women perform,” said Corey Low, director of security, emergency services, and information management for the DOE Richland Operations Office.
Mission Support Alliance holds a $3 billion, 10-year contract through May 25, 2019, to provide site-wide services at Hanford. It is owned by Leidos and Centerra Group.
