EODT earned four Occupational Excellence Achievement Awards recognizing the company's incident rate was 50 percent less, with zero fatalities, than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics rating for a similar industry. EODT also received two Perfect Record Awards for completing twelve consecutive months of operations without incurring an occupational injury or illness that resulted in days away from work or fatality.

The second award was received for EODT's United States operations, which includes munitions management and security work.
