Occupational Medicine

The Office of Health and Safety develops and implements occupational and environmental medicine policies and standards that facilitate the provision of high-quality occupational and environmental medicine services.

Since the inception of the Manhattan Project, the DOE occupational and environmental medicine program has provided on-the-job health care and risk assessment to more than 600,000 workers, ensuring that the Nation's nuclear workers are protected from both the hazards of building and maintaining the nuclear weapons stockpile, as well as dangers of research and development activities in the vanguard of science, such as nanotechnology and genomics.

A major goal of the DOE occupational and environmental medicine program over the next few years, is full implementation of occupational and environmental regulations in 10 CFR 851 Worker Safety and Health Program, including the achievement of interoperable electronic medical records systems at all site occupational medicine programs within 10 years.
