Employee of the Month
If
you ever wondered what working at CMSD was
like 32 years ago, our Employee of the Month, and San Diego Native, Miguel “Mike” Lopez, would be the man to ask. He first started with us as a Helper 1 in 1985, just out of high school. Today he is a Shipfitter Journeyman. He tells us he is still working here today because, “I have always enjoyed CMSD's friendly atmosphere and its wonderful people.” (We are pretty Great, but enough about us and more about Mike). His Manager, Juan Macias, says, “ Congratulations to Miguel “Mike” Lopez, June Employee of the Month!
For the past three decades, Mike tells us he has worked with many people but Saul Rocha and Juan Macias have been his mentors. “They have guided and supported me in a great way and helped me to become what I am today in the company.” Outside of work, Mike tells us the greatest influence in his life is his father. “He has always worked hard and he never gave up. He set a great example for me in work ethics.
And, Juan agrees; “Mike does have great work ethics. He needs little to no supervision, is
Mike says what he likes best about being a Shipfitter Journeyman is, “The flexibility to do different jobs such as making drawings, fitting and welding on the ships or working in the shop.” He also tells us he is especially proud of the many certifications in welding processes he has earned since working for CMSD. “One of my ongoing career goals,” said Mike, “Is continuing to maintain CMSD’s high quality and high standards in the shipyard industry. And, what would he tell his peers? “Keep up the good work, values and ethics, be professional, always do high quality work, and, it's never too late to learn new things.” In his free time, Mike says he continues to learn new things; and not just about his job with us. He says he loves watching Science and History documentaries with his two daughters. And he does have a favorite baseball team. Can you guess which team this San Diego Native favors? The Padres, of course!
Way to hit it out of the park! Congratulations, Mike!

ongratulations to our Spotlight Employee of the Month, Buu Truong. Originally from Vietnam, Buu moved to San Diego in 1999. Just a few short years later, in 2002, he joined CMSD. Today he is a Shipfitter Journeyman in our Structural Department.
“Buu is a team player especially when it comes to meeting work milestones,” says his Manager, Juan Macias. “He is responsible, dependable and always gives 100% to everything he does. Before working at our shipyard, Buu tells us he was a machine operator for a sport technology company.

“Buu is always willing to work and mentor the younger guys and to teach them shipfitting and welding fundamentals,” said Juan. “When he is assigned a tough job, his leadership skills come out; he is a key player in the department.” The top skills that make him good at performing his job, Buu tells us, are fitting, welding, reading blue prints, “And, I can work with anyone and get along and get the job done,” he added. This might also be because of his work goal. “My goal is to work hard and complete a job as soon as I possibly can while doing the best I can do.” “He is an absolute asset to the company and always a role model for our Values of Integrity, Safety, Honesty, Engagement, Responsibility and Performance,” said Juan. Buu is married and says he likes to spend time with his daughters. And, when not doing the best job he possibly can, here at our shipyard, he says he catches up on his sleep.
Great Job, Buu!

Zero Tolerance for Retaliation Respect…….Not Retaliation Continental Maritime prides itself on its professional conduct. We have a reputation of high standards relating to our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Even with these high standards, occasionally we may find that someone within the company is By Bob Montreuil behaving illegally or unethically. Employees are obligated Facilities Manager to report these unacceptable behaviors to the HR Department or Open Line.
It’s never wrong to do the RIGHT thing. --Mark Twain
Having worked here for nearly 36 years, I have always found Our Company to be Fair and Reasonable when dealing with their employees. You should rest assured that when reporting illegal or unethical behaviors, you are protected from retaliation, by both company policy and federal law. We have zero tolerance for retaliation. Retaliation Will Not Be Tolerated! Employees who make a good faith effort to report misconduct or illegal activities will be treated with Respect; Not Retaliation. Anyone who retaliates against employees will be subject to disciplinary actions. We want to foster a work environment that encourages honest and open communication. Our employees are one of our greatest assets, which we both value and respect. Keeping our Moral Compass Tuned-up to Excellent When one thinks or hears about retaliation at the workplace, the tendency is to think of it as an act of revenge. Actually there is much more to it than that. A person that perpetrates retaliation has lost focus of both their place and function at work. As part of Huntington Ingalls Industries, we are all an integral part of the By Tim Olson whole. In addition to working together in performing our duties; we Contracts/Estimating Manager also represent HII. Since ancient times, primitive cultures and civilizations have had a system of moral principles with respect to right and wrong. When we hire employees they receive extensive training regarding what is appropriate and ethical behavior. This information is also repeated with periodic training. Our company, as part of HII, will continue to inform employees about our code of ethics, which must and does comply with the law. By keeping our employees informed on a regular basis, we will keep our moral compass tuned-up to excellent. HII is at the forefront of maintaining a work environment where we are successful because of our exceptional company ethics and employee performance. As employees, we must always stay informed about ethical behavior and report suspicious conduct that does not reflect positively on HII. Employees who have retaliation in mind are putting our reputation at risk. Much is at stake when personal vendettas enter our work place. Finally, always have your Code of Ethics and Business Conduct book available to you for easy reference. And, always contact your supervisor or HR if you need additional help. Remember, the true loss is in ignoring Retaliation in the workplace and letting it continue!

NEWS FROM THE NURSE June is: Men’s Health Month June is Men’s Health Month for our 473 male employees! The purpose of Men's Health Month is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. Women live an average of five years longer than men, and in turn are often affected by the poor health or premature deaths of their husbands, brothers, and sons. Remarkably, more than half of all premature deaths among men are preventable. Currently, women make twice as many preventive care visits as men, so men have twice as many missed opportunities for becoming aware of their health risk factors, preventing disease, and identifying serious health conditions in the early, more manageable stages. What can you do to take to take control of your health? Schedule an annual physical exam. This is your opportunity to establish a relationship with your healthcare provider, have a thorough check-up, and receive recommendations for ageappropriate screenings and immunizations. Make note of any questions or concerns you have. Before your appointment, take the time to write down your family medical history, medications you take, and any concerning symptoms you are experiencing. Achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Make smart nutritional choices and engage in at least 150 minutes of moderately vigorous physical activity each week. Take control of alcohol and tobacco use. Follow the guidelines for moderate alcohol intake (up to one drink per day for men over age 65 and up to two drinks per day for men age 65 and younger). If you are a smoker or use other tobacco products, make a concrete plan to quit. If you’re unsure of how to quit, call the HII Tobacco Free for Life program at 1-800-840-6100 to connect with professionally trained, caring coaches who will customize the program to meet your needs. Get Enough Sleep Adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep. Insufficient sleep is associated with a number of chronic diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression. Also, poor sleep is responsible for motor vehicle and machinery-related accidents. Toss out the Tobacco It’s never too late to quit! When you quit smoking, you will see immediate and long-term benefits such improved health and a lower risk of heart disease, cancer, lung disease, and other smoking-related illnesses. Also avoid 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.

NEWS FROM THE NURSE Men’s Health Month (continued)
Move More Adults need 2½ hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity 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 amounts of time during the day.
Eat Healthy Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables have many vitamins and minerals 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. Avoid drugs and alcohol. Find support. Connect socially. Stay active. Stay on Top of Your Game See your doctor or nurse for checkups. Certain diseases and conditions may not have symptoms, so checkups help identify 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 or nurse. 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. What are the biggest health issues men face? There is a crisis in America right now in men's health, and it affects every community. That crisis revolves around managing chronic medical diseases like diabetes, obesity, hypertension, heart disease and high cholesterol. These common problems are causing men to die prematurely in the prime of their life. Other common health concerns are low testosterone and benign prostate enlargement. Testosterone is the main male hormone, and is responsible for a number of things, including reproductive development as a male. It's made in the testes, and impacts a number of functions. The most common symptoms of low testosterone are a decreased sex drive, erectile difficulty, tiredness, mood changes and occasional memory problems. If you have low testosterone, you're at increased risk of developing diabetes, hypertension or a number of other chronic conditions. Once we get over the age of 40, our prostates grow -- it's known as "benign prostate enlargement." The common symptoms include slow urinary stream or a sudden urge to go to the bathroom. But remember there are solutions to all these health problems as long as they are detected early!

Examples of situations in which employees may be nominated for the Program are those in which employees demonstrate our company values by:
--Demonstrating high ethical standards and integrity; --Producing exceptionally high quality work under tight deadlines; --Demonstrating exceptional courtesy or responsiveness while engaging with customers or colleagues; --Improving our company performance while upholding our strong company values. These and other noteworthy/extraordinary behaviors are acceptable.

The Level 1 Award is given to those nominated employees who demonstrated our company values in an “extraordinary” behavior in their everyday work activities. The Level 1 Award is given to nominated employees whose behavior can clearly be recognized as going significantly above and beyond the call of duty. The Level 2 Award is given to those nominated employees who demonstrated our company values in a “noteworthy” behavior in their everyday work activities. Level 2 Award is given to those employees who take extra steps to exemplify and promote ethical conduct for the benefit of the workplace in some significant way.

COMPLIANCE CORNER Work Compliance Plans 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 responsibilities, 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 available to read on the CMSD Intranet and, Core Elements will be featured each month in this newsletter. A summary and list of the procedures that comply with each of the required core elements will be shared with all employees.
Data Breach Laws Summary: CMSD is subject to a wide variety of federal, state and other laws, rules and regulations relating to the prevention, detection, and reporting/notification of data breaches. While these laws, rules and regulations cover many types and categories of information, the focus of this Core Element is those laws, rules and regulations that address the prevention, detection, and reporting/notification of data breaches involving personal identifiable information (“PII”). CMSD maintains PII on active employees and retirees who reside in all 50 states as well as a number of territories and foreign jurisdictions. With respect to data breaches involving PII, the law in the state where the active employee or retiree resides will control in most instances; provided, however, that the laws of other jurisdictions (including foreign jurisdictions) may be implicated in certain circumstances, including when CMSD is conducting business in the jurisdiction or when the breached computer servers or systems storing, hosting and/or processing such information are located in the jurisdiction. State laws addressing data breaches generally define PII as a person’s first name (or first initial) and last name in combination
with and linked to any of the following data elements that relate to that person, when the data elements are neither encrypted nor redacted: • Social security number; • Driver's license number or state identification card number issued in lieu of a driver's license number; • Financial account number, or credit card or debit card number, in combination with any required security code, access code, or password that would permit access to a resident's financial accounts; or • In some circumstances, additional information, such as tax payer identification number. In addition to the information identified as PII by state law, CMSD also considers its employees’ home addresses and salary information as PII that is protected under CMSD’s procedures. CMSD is committed to protecting the PII of its active employees and retirees. CMSD treats PII as proprietary and business sensitive and discloses it only to employees with a need-to-know (i.e., knowledge of the information is required for the recipient to perform his or her job). Further, employees are prohibited from disclosing PII to third parties or outside CMSD unless all of the following conditions are satisfied: • The disclosure serves a legitimate business purpose or necessity of CMSD; • The recipient of the PII has executed an HIIapproved nondisclosure agreement or other contractual agreement containing confidentiality and/ or data security terms and conditions requiring the recipient to , among other things, (a) protect such information from unauthorized disclosure, and (b) use such information only as necessary to effect the terms and conditions of such agreement; and • The employee transmits the PII using an approved transmission method.
Penalties: In the event that PII is acquired or accessed in an unauthorized manner, state data breach laws typically require CMSD to provide notice to the person affected by the data breach and to the state’s attorney general, and in some instances, other state entities (e.g., state office of cyber security, consumer protection board) and consumer reporting agencies that compile and maintain files on consumers on a nationwide basis. Many states’ attorneys general will require the owner of the PII to provide credit monitoring services and a call center to answer questions concerning the data breach. In the most extreme cases, such as a breach of (Data Breach Laws continued) the PII maintained on the all of CMSD’s active and retired employees, the cost for providing such notice and credit monitoring services could be very high. Finally, failure to comply with state-law notification and reporting requirements can also lead to significant fines and civil penalties.

Health and Safety Summary: CMSD is subject to numerous laws and regulations regarding the health and safety of its employees, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, and the regulations passed as a result of that Act. This law requires Huntington Ingalls Industries ('CMSD' or 'the company') to identify and address hazards within the workplace. CMSD is currently a 'Star' site in OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program ('VPP'), a designation awarded by OSHA to employers who, per the OSHA VPP program website, 'demonstrate exemplary achievement in the prevention and control of occupational safety and health hazards the development, implementation and continuous improvement of their safety and health management system.' To maintain this designation, CMSD must submit an annual self-evaluation of its health and safety management system. CMSD may be subject in certain situations to workplace safety laws, including the Toxic Substances Control Act (regulating and overseeing the use of certain chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)) and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (regulating the commercial transportation of certain hazardous substances). In addition, CMSD is potentially liable for claims brought by employees injured in the workplace under either Federal or State law. Penalties. Claims arising from workplace injuries and/or occupational disease subject the company to substantial long-term liabilities. Claims arising from such events are subject to either Federal or State jurisdiction.

Compliance is each employee’s responsibility. In order for all employees to understand their responsibilities to our Compliance Plan, CMSD has made a link to the 2016 Annual Compliance Plan. It is now available on the CMSD Intranet under Featured Items. Compliance awareness is distributed via newsletter, gang box, and official training. Additionally, employees are encouraged to review the Annual Compliance Plan to become more familiar with how their role and day-to-day activities contribute to meeting CMSD’s compliance obligations. If you do not have computer access, you may request to review the compliance plan through your department manager.

VPP and ISO 14001
Voluntary Protection Program and ISO 14001 What is VPP? VPP stands for Voluntary Protection Program. The program began in California in 1979 and was formally announced federally in 1982. VPP is a program of the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) for companies that implement safety and health measures that manage incident rates their industry’s average. VPP recognizes worksites that have achieved and are maintaining excellence in worker safety and health protection. VPP programs help provide a healthy and safe place of employment by stimulating employers and employees to institute new, and to improve existing, programs that really work. As a result, the average VPP worksite has 50 percent less injuries resulting in days away from work. In other words we get hurt less often and to a lesser degree than our peers. A benefit of qualifying as a VPP site is that OSHA removes participants from their programmed inspection cycle.
ISO 14001 sets out the International Standards Organization’s criteria for an environmental management system. While it doesn’t state requirements for environmental performance it 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. Using ISO 14001 can provide assurance to company management and employees as well as external stakeholders that environmental impacts are being measured and improved. Below is the policy we use at CMSD to help maintain our environment. At CMSD we measure this through our Environmental Management System (EMS) inspections and audits to ensure we are continuously reducing our impact on the environment.
