Huntington Ingalls Industries said that its Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division released a shipyard safety music video featuring a song written by one of its shipbuilders. Shipfitter Alfred Flythe wrote "Safety First" for a safety song contest NNS sponsored over the summer. "The safety song contest provided a great opportunity for me to combine two of my passions: singing and shipbuilding," Flythe said. "Our jobs can be dangerous if we don't put safety first. I considered all of the different environments in the yard when I wrote the lyrics. Flythe's rap song was one of 25 contest submissions in genres ranging from country and gospel to rock and rap. "Safety First" was determined the winner by shipbuilding employees who voted online.
