Rising Stars of Safety, Class of 2022
George Howard
Age: 34
Director, EHS Management Systems
Amentum
Boyds, MD
“In November 2020, Amentum acquired DynCorp International, nearly doubling managed head count. George developed an integration plan to implement the Amentum management system across the combined enterprise. As the leader of this initiative, George worked with deployed safety professionals to identify opportunities for improvement and develop implementation plans. Early integration efforts focused on areas of highest risk, such as injury management and risk assessments. The successful integration of the Amentum EHS program resulted in a 30% reduction in total recordable incident rate and a 55% reduction in lost workday case rate just one year after acquisition.”
