A green ribbon with two white stripes and a white embroidered inscription "Safety Excellence" is authorized to indicate accident prevention measures and success. Recently Fort Detrick met the regulatory requirements for obtaining the award; being named a 2014 safety winner by the Department of the Army.
"The Garrison has not had a class A or B incident in over twenty years, let alone the required twelve month period for eligibility, and has completed the initial and mid-tour Army Readiness Assessment Program within the last twenty-six months, said Rusty Fohrer, acting chief of the Installation Safety Office.
During the period of this award, Risk Management training was completed by 100% of personnel assigned to the Garrison and is continually monitored to ensure new personnel complete the training in a timely manner.
The Garrison continually strives to improve it's safety program and to develop processes that exemplify a commitment to safety excellence.
The streamer may be displayed by the organization for one year, at the expiration of which the unit must re-qualify.
