DOI Safety and Health Program Evaluation Overview
For Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Programs to be successful, they should
be evaluated periodically. The scope of the program, information collected,
and processes reviewed need to be known in advance. This is proficient
for the reviewers and those being reviewed (as well as educational). The
Department if the Interior’s evaluation process identifies the sequencing,
scope, and information that must be available for a successful review and
evaluation. The program is designed to collect objective evidence that
demonstrates conformance with OHS regulations and overall OHS program performance
In the following pages are OHS program elements listed as review sections
with corresponding types of objective evidence that should be used in conducting
the OHS program review and evaluation. The degree of detail shown within
each section may not be needed for every organization, but the section (i.e.,
element) should be part of any organization’s OHS program.
