“Be The Best Partner In The Port”

June 2015

Happy Father’s Day

BIKE-TO-WORK DAY! Bike to Work Day is an event that is held annually in May.

This event is to promote the use of a bicycle as an alternate

mode of transportation to and from work. The day that this

event is held on varies from city to city. This year San Diego

held a make-up day on Friday, May 29th (originally scheduled

for May 15, 2015) due to heavy rain.

Several of our employees supported this event. They are

Jazhiel Buelna from Production Support, Paul Muehlenbeck

from EH&S and Malcolm Swall from Accounting. Way to go

Jazhiel, Paul and Malcolm!

May is National Bike Month, sponsored by the League of

American Bicyclists and celebrated in communities from coast

to coast. Established in 1956, National Bike Month is a chance

to showcase the many benefits of bicycling — and encourage

more folks to give biking a try (information provided from

NEW BENEFIT AT CMSD (reminder) New Benefit at CMSD (complies with new California labor law)

Continental Maritime of San Diego (CMSD) takes pride in providing superior benefits to their employees. The

Vacation/PTO benefit is one of the best in San Diego and provides time for illness and vacation. California’s new

Healthy Workplaces/Healthy Families Act of 2014 – Paid Sick Leave will go into effect on July 1, 2015.

As of July 1st, California employees meeting specific guidelines will be given a minimum of 3 days (24 hours) paid

sick leave for each year. CMSD’s Vacation/PTO policy already exceeds these requirements. However, Management

has decided to give every qualified employee 3 days (24 hours) sick leave starting on July 1st and then on the 1st of eve-

ry calendar year thereafter. It is not an accrual, does not carry over, nor will it be paid out. It is separate from the

earned/accrued PTO. It will end on December 31st of every year. At the beginning of every year (January), employees

will receive the 24 hours in accordance with CMSD’s Leave of Absence Procedure.

We are in business to “Be the Best Partner in the Port” which encompasses every aspect of business. It means

partnering with our customers, vendors and employees. This is just one more way we can all work together.

FATHER’S DAY

Father’s Day honors fathers, father figures and men who have

played an important role in the lives of children. It is celebrated in

the United States on the 3rd Sunday in June. It was first honored in

1910 as a memorial to men of a mining accident in West Virginia.

The originator of the holiday, Sonora Smart Dodd, wanted to recognize her father who raised six (6) children

by himself after her mother died until the mining accident. The holiday wasn’t recognized officially until 1972

by President Nixon.

Buying sports related equipment, phone calls, greeting cards, and luxury food/beverage items (i.e. Famous

Tabasco packs, BBQ sauces, etc.), and don’t forget a shirt and tie are

among the most common (and possibly some are unwanted) gifts.

Sandra Sentell, HII Government Affairs Representative

and SHIPPAC Chair of the Operating Committee visited

CMSD. SHIPPAC is a voluntary political fund supported

solely by eligible employees of HII.

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH Meet Joseph “Joe” San Agustin. He started at CMSD

in 1989 as a Tool Room Coordinator and is now in a

supervisory role.

Joe tells us that his family would describe him as a

“handyman of all tasks” and “helpful.” He believes his

peers see him as “a person to fulfill their work needs.”

Joe would like to share this bit of advice with his peers,

“work together as a team and get the job done.”

One achievement that Joe is proud of being involved in

is “setting up portable tool rooms.” The ability to have

“mobile tool rooms” makes work a little easier on

CMSD employees that are assigned in other yards.

Joe’s mentors are Leander “Lee” Hill and Doug Wer-

ner. The most influential people in Joe’s life are his

parents.

Joe’s managers, Lee Hill and Dave Kyllonen tell us that Joe has gone the extra mile by “safely modifying company 4”

grinders to improve lubrication (and service life).” When asked to describe Joe in three (3) words Lee and Dave said,

“Professional, Focused and Hard-working.” Out of the six (6) company values, Lee and Dave feel Joe best represents

“Responsibility.”

Lee and Dave think Joe’s biggest asset to the company is “his long record of excellent service, his tool and equipment

knowledge and his acceptance of a leadership role within the organization.” They also believe he has made a differ-

ence at CMSD with his “commitment to providing optimal and safe tool support.”

Joe is a loving husband and father. When not at work, Joe loves spending time with his grandkids. He enjoys watching

sports (doesn’t really have a favorite team), fishing, carpentry and doing automotive repair. When Joe retires, he wants

to spend time with his family and travel.

Meet the Tool Room Department. There are 8 employees in this fantastic department. They are Alexander “Alex”

Brown, Oscar Bugarin, Yadira “Dee Dee” De Los Santos, Bree Grabowski, Thomas “Tom” Gulliver, Joseph “Joe”

San Agustin, Pedro Valencia and Monique Williams. Their manager is Leander “Lee” Hill.

CMSD has multiple tool room locations to help employees with the tools they need for their job assignments. There

is the main tool room at CMSD and mobile tool rooms at BAE, NASSCO and 32nd Street. The tool rooms are re-

sponsible for issuing tools and consumable supplies to CMSD employees.

Lee reflectively states, “sometimes the tool room gets negative feedback from the trades because we don’t have what

they need on the spot. But we usually make a call, get the item to the trades, and then we are their heroes for the

day.” The tool department is dependable and comes through once again.

Lee feels that the top 3 attributes that set the tool room staff apart from the rest of the CMSD employees is their

“loyalty, honesty and understanding.” Lee also tells us, “this team is very loyal and really wants to do a good job to

help the trades complete their work. The tool room staff understands how important it is to the trades to complete

their job assignments on time, so they always go the extra mile in their support to the trades to make sure this hap-

pens.”

Way to go Tool Room staff!

SDG&E’s 16th ANNUAL

LAWNMOWER TRADE-IN EVENT

SPOTLIGHT EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH Meet Bree Grabowski. Bree is one of our Tool Room At-

tendants. She joined the CMSD team in 2014.

Before Bree started at CMSD, she worked in Retail Manage-

ment for over 16 years. Some of her responsibilities were

human resources, customer service and retail purchasing.

According to Lee Hill, Bree’s manager, she “has a positive

attitude, is very reliable and a team player.” He also tells us,

“with Bree manning the Tool Room the way she does with a

good attitude and always trying to help, the trades really ap-

preciate it. Additionally, it helps the projects run smoother.”

When asked to describe Bree in three (3) words Dave Kyllo-

nen, on behalf of Lee Hill, said, “Diligent, Supportive and

Enthusiastic.” Out of the six (6) company values, Dave feels

Bree best represents “Engagement.”

Bree tells us her proudest moment is “being recognized in the spotlight.” She is “proud to be working at a great com-

pany, which she feels has the best reputation on the waterfront, and working with such a terrific group of people.”

Bree would like to take this opportunity to thank Lee Hill “for giving her a chance to be a part of this great company.

She also wants to thank Joe San Agustin “for being such a great boss/mentor.”

When Bree is not at work, she spends time with her husband and two sons. They like to go to the movies, fishing

and having BBQs with the family. Bree also loves to read books.

Way to shine in the spotlight, Bree!

NURSE’S CORNER

Men’s Health Month is here.

Menopause for Men Andropause and the Aging Process:

Did you know there is menopause for men? The aging process leads to low testosterone in men. This process occurs

gradually over many years resulting in hypogonadism (low testosterone). Hypogonadism in aging men is called andro-

pause, popularly known as male menopause which typically appears in the fifties.

Transitory Symptoms and Long-term Effects:

The transitory symptoms could include fatigue, loss of libido, memory problems and depression. The long-term ef-

fects of andropause affect all men eventually, as progression of andropause can contribute to osteoporosis (bone loss),

dementia, frailty, falls, heart and circulatory problems. Circulatory problems can contribute to erectile dysfunction.

International Recognition in the Medical Community:

We have not paid enough attention to this aspect of aging men’s health in the United States. There is no national

body to study andropause, which is a very important physiological phenomenon in aging men. Andropause is also

about preventive medicine during the aging process, so during Men’s Health Month in June start thinking about ways

to prevent health problems and prolong the aging process.

Get Good Sleep

Insufficient sleep is associated with a number of chronic diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular dis-

ease, obesity, and depression. Also, insufficient sleep is responsible for motor vehicle and machinery-related acci-

dents, causing substantial injury and disability each year

Toss out the Tobacco

It’s never too late to quit. Quitting smoking has immediate and long-term benefits. It improves your health and lowers

your risk of heart disease, cancer, lung disease, and other smoking-related illnesses. Also avoid being around

secondhand smoke. Inhaling other people's smoke causes health problems similar to those that smokers have. Babies

and kids are still growing, so the poisons in secondhand smoke hurt them more than adults.

Move More

Adults need at least 2½ hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (such as brisk walking) every week, and muscle

strengthening activities that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms) on

two or more days a week. You don't have to do it all at once. Spread your activity out during the week, and break it

into smaller chunks of time during the day.

13

Eat Healthy

Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables every day. They are sources of many vitamins, minerals, and other natural sub-

stances that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Limit foods and drinks high in calories, sugar, salt, fat, and

alcohol.

Tame Stress Sometimes stress can be good. However, it can be harmful when it is severe enough to make you feel overwhelmed

and out of control. Take care of yourself. Do not use drugs and alcohol for coping/escape. Find support. Connect

socially. Use our employee assistance programs (EAP).

Stay on Top of Your Game

See your doctor or nurse for regular checkups. Certain diseases and conditions may not have symptoms, so checkups

help diagnose issues early or before they can become a problem. Pay attention to signs and symptoms such as chest

pain, shortness of breath, excessive thirst, and problems with urination. If you have these or symptoms of any kind,

be sure to see your doctor right away. Don’t wait! Keep track of your numbers for blood pressure, blood glucose,

cholesterol, body mass index (BMI), or any others you may have. If your numbers are high or low, your doctor or

nurse can explain what they mean and suggest how you can get them to a healthier range. Be sure to ask him or her

what tests you need and how often you need them.

COMPLIANCE CORNER Work Compliance Plans (WCP) were implemented to ensure periodic reviews and compliance with Huntington

Ingalls Industries (Corporate) business practices, policies and internal controls. The WCP’s provide reasonable steps

to communicate the Company’s standards and procedures in a practical manner. Each work plan outlines the responsi-

bilities, and includes a risk assessment and communication plan to facilitate timely discovery of improper conduct.

There are a total of 38 Core Elements of the Work Compliance Plans. In the upcoming newsletters, Business Manage-

ment will be providing employees with a summary of the procedures that comply with each of the required core ele-

ments.

Assigned Responsibility/At-risk: All Departments

Summary

Continental Maritime (CM) is committed to maintaining a healthy environment for it’s employees and for the citizens of our community. Accordingly, it is the policy of the company to comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, and minimize environmental risk, emissions to the air and water, and the generation of waste. The compa-ny will establish environmental objectives to support our commitment to continual improvement and pollution preven-tion.

The Environmental Policy is available to the public, and is communicated to employees through the acronym

“SOAR”, which summaries the key points of our environmental policy: (S)top Pollution, (O)bey Rules, (A)lways Im-

prove, (R)educe Waste

CMSD is subject to a wide variety of federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations such as the Air Pollu-

tion Control District, U.S. Coast Guard, Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA). In CMSD’s case, the primary State agency is the California Environmental Protection Agency (CAL/

EPA). An overview of some of these obligations is as follows:

Clean Air Act. The Clean Air Act focuses on reducing air pollutants that could have negative health affects for

the U.S. population.

Clean Water Act. The Clean Water Act makes it unlawful to allow pollutants to be discharged into navigable

waters unless a permit is first obtained.

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)/Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,

and Liability Act (CERCLA). The company manages hazardous wastes and materials generated and used in the

ship repair process.

Responsibilities and Risk Assessment

There are several processes in place to detect, assess and mitigate environmental issues. In addition to the new-hire

EPA, OSHA and Navy Standards orientation training that employees receive upon indoctrination, they also receive

OSHA 10-hour Maritime, weekly gang box and annual refresher training.

Communication Plan

It is a priority of CMSD to comply with these laws and ensure environmental responsibility. Employees are encouraged

to contact the Environmental, Health & Safety Department if they feel or are unsure if their work processes violate any

regulations. Employees can also use the In-Process-Inspection, Opportunity for Improvement, and Open Line avenues

of communication based on their needs. The EH&S Department has committed to respond to every inquiry following

evaluation of all conditions employees bring to light.

NEWS FROM EH&S

What is VPP & ISO 14001:2004? The VPP recognize employers and workers in the private industry and federal agencies who have implemented effec-

tive safety and health management systems and maintain injury and illness rates below national Bureau of Labor Sta-

tistics averages for their respective industries. In VPP, management, labor, and OSHA work cooperatively and proac-

tively to prevent fatalities, injuries, and illnesses through a system focused on: hazard prevention and control; worksite

analysis; training; and management commitment and worker involvement. To participate, employers must submit an

application to OSHA and undergo a rigorous onsite evaluation by a team of safety and health professionals. Union

support is required for applicants represented by a bargaining unit. VPP participants are re-evaluated every three to

five years to remain in the programs. VPP participants are exempt from OSHA programmed inspections while they

maintain their VPP status.

Goal: Achieve (Retain) Star Status

The Star Program is designed for exemplary worksites with comprehensive, successful safety

and health management systems. Companies in the Star Program have achieved injury and illness rates at or below

the national average of their respective industries. These sites are self-sufficient in their ability to control workplace

hazards. Star participants are reevaluated every three to five years, although incident rates are reviewed annually.

ISO 14001:2004

ISO 14001:2004 sets out the criteria for an environmental management system and can be certified to. It does not

state requirements for environmental performance, but maps out a framework that a company or organization can

follow to set up an effective environmental management system. It can be used by any organization regardless of its

activity or sector. Using ISO 14001:2004 can provide assurance to company management and employees as well as

external stakeholders that environmental impact is being measured and improved.

The benefits of using ISO 14001:2004 can include:

Reduced cost of waste management

Savings in consumption of energy and materials

Lower distribution costs

Improved corporate image among regulators, customers and the public

SAFETY TIPS FROM EH&S

5 Quick Tips for a Safe Summer Outdoors in California

Temperatures are climbing and the days are getting longer. Summer is officially here, and in California that means

more people will be hitting the great outdoors for chores, recreation, picnicking, or just plain relaxing in the backyard

hammock.

“Summer is a wonderful time to get outside and be active, and to exercise as a family, but to get the best out of the

season, it pays to follow some basic health and safety advice,” says Scott Gee, MD Kaiser Permanente’s director of

prevention and health information in Northern California and a practicing pediatrician.

Here’s a quick look at five important summer-safety topics.

Sunburn — Wear hats and opaque long-sleeved shirts and pants while outdoors. Use sunglasses with UV protec-

tion. Stay in the shade where possible. Try to stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Use sunscreen

with SPF of 16 or higher, and reapply every 3 to 4 hours or immediately after swimming or exercising.

Exercise — Drink water before, during and after exertion. Stay in the shade and avoid exercising in the middle

of the day. Pace yourself and take frequent breaks. Take extra care if the temperature is above 80 and avoid ex-

ercising at all if the temperature is in the 90s, or it is humid. Call 911 or other emergency services immediately if

you have stopped sweating or have other signs of heatstroke, such as a fast heart rate, dizziness or confusion,

high body temperature, or extreme lethargy.

Insect bites and stings — Wear clothing that covers the skin, and when needed, apply insect repellant containing

DEET to clothing, shoes and exposed skin. For children, use products with no more than 10 percent DEET

and do not apply to hands. In cases of bites or stings, remove the stinger (if applicable) and use ice to reduce

pain, itching and swelling. For ticks, use tweezers and pull straight away from the skin to remove. Wash the area

and apply an antiseptic. If a rash, fever, headache or fatigue develops, call your doctor.

Water safety — Drowning is the leading cause of death and injury for children under 5 in California. Never leave

a child unattended near a pool or other body of water for even a minute, even if the child knows how to swim.

All pools are required to be fenced and to have a self-latching gate. If you are outside the fence, check to make

sure the gate and latch are functioning.

Poison oak — Know what poison oak looks like and avoid it when outdoors. The leaves grow in clusters of three

and are green or red in the spring and summer and orange or brown in the fall. If you come into contact with

the leaves, flush exposed areas with cold water for 20 minutes. Wash everything exposed — clothing, shoes, even

your dog. If a rash develops, and if recommended by your physician or pharmacist using a topical cream over

10 to 14 days can reduce itching. Cut children’s fingernails and encourage them to not scratch the rash.

ployees and persons acting on the Company’s behalf should assume all published works are copyrighted and seek the

necessary approvals specified in this procedure before copying or using such works.

We all need to keep in mind when copying things from books, magazines or even the internet, that there is a copyright

law that needs to be followed. Whether that law is only in your state or internationally. Be sure to double check that

the information you are copying is good-to-go or rather good to use. You can use the following website:

If you take information that you have read and rewrote in your own words, that is not a copyright problem. Some ma-

terial that you download from the internet; i.e. flyers, brochures and pamphlets, are designed to be redistributed. So

they are not always protected by copyright law, but it does not hurt to double check.

So the next time you copy that section of an article and want to republish it, make sure you can. Also, if you are taking

Costco Pizza - call in your order before you go to the store

You can call in your pizza order before you go to Costco. You can pay for it one of two ways: 1) Pay at the food

court window or 2) Pay at the register inside (only if you need to get anything while you are at the store). So if you

need to run inside and grab something before you pick up the pizza order that you called in, then just let the cashier

know as they ring up your other purchases. Make sure to bring the amount quoted to you over the phone, this will

help out when the cashier starts to ring up your order. Bring that receipt to the Pizza “pick up” window.
