Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery Recognized for Safety Excellence

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Southwest Region is committed to keeping employees safe by providing safe work environments. Part of this practice includes regular safety inspections and assessments to ensure adequate resources are in place and work conditions are safe from potential hazards. These inspections have also revealed good practices, which are used as examples for other offices and have significantly improved the Region’s safety record. Offices actively employing exceptional safety practices are recognized with the Excellence in Safety Award. This quarter, the award was presented to the Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery for their exceptional support of safety programs, and continued high ratings in safety assessments.
