Weeks Marine earns Signal awards

Signal Mutual, the largest group insurer of Longshore and Harbor Worker benefits in the nation, annually recognizes a select few members that demonstrate superior safety culture and performance. Weeks Marine - with a shipyard, repair facility and other office locations in Louisiana - received three awards that underscore its commitment to safety. Matt Hicks, Construction Division HSE Manager, was named a Safety Professional of the Year for 2021-22. Hicks earned this award by setting high safety standards and making significant contributions to the organization through the implementation of safety culture and a Safety Management System. At the organizational level, Weeks received the Industry Safety Leadership Award due to its strong safety performance, which included no fatalities in the last three years, among other key factors. Weeks also won the Safety Excellence Award - Signal’s highest honor - in recognition that it exemplifies the promotion of employee safety/health throughout the organization. “It’s no secret there are hazards in our line of work, but I see first-hand the level of commitment to safety our team brings,” said Chris Hynes, COO at Weeks Marine. “Safety is at the forefront" of what the company does, he said.
