2023 Innovation Award - National Safety Council

We are honored to announce Lockheed Martin as the recipient of our 2023 Innovation Award for its entry, Major Muffler.

A Major Muffler is an innovative approach developed by a multi-functional team. Rather than using the mass of materials to create a sound barrier, the team used scientific passive attenuation principles and lightweight materials to solve the problem through elegant design.

Integration of the Major Muffler into the testing operations has delivered substantial noise exposure (28 decibel reduction) and ergonomics improvements for engineers and technicians.

Leadership Engagement and Assurance

Tesla's Leadership Engagement and Assurance program provides the leadership team with the tools and skills to verify and validate essential safeguards and have meaningful safety conversations with front-line staff and contractors.

The implementation of the program resulted in multifaceted enhancement of the organization's EHS program, including increased employee participation in hazard reporting, elevated leadership engagement with front-line staff and a tangible reduction in high-severity injuries.

Engage, Empower, Excel: The Digital Revolution in Workplace Safety

To engage a vast workforce of 60,000 employees and 60,000 contractors across more than 2,000 sites in 50 countries in the realm of Health, Safety Environment, Holcim implemented a Boots on the Ground (BOG)® app.

The app is a user-friendly digital tool designed to provide real-time feedback and nurture a culture of positive HSE practices. As it evolved, improvements included guided coaching, robust action management and a housekeeping module. To boost its acceptance, gamification elements are included.
