2024 Safety Song Contest: Congratulations to Nishae Falu

Published December 11, 2024

Shipbuilders,

This summer, Newport News Shipbuilding hosted our first safety song contest in 10 years. When the votes were tallied, Nishae Falu (X33) was named the winner for her song titled “Safety First.” One of the contest prizes was a professionally produced music video, which I am proud to share with you today.

While the video is meant to be entertaining, the message behind it is serious. Designing, building and overhauling the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines that defend our freedom is critical work. It is up to all of us to ensure this work is done safely and with first-time quality in mind.

Please join me in congratulating Nishae for her incredible song. Thank you to the shipbuilders who participated in the music video, as well as the others who entered the contest and those who voted.

Without further ado, I invite you to watch the video for “Safety First.”

Respectfully,

Karey Malyszko
Vice President of Quality
