Welcome
The Office of Health, Safety and Security (HSS) was created to bring the vital Department of Energy (DOE)
corporate functions of health, safety, environment, and security together under one office. To ensure effective
coordination of these functions, HSS focuses on policy development, technical assistance, education and training,
enforcement, and independent oversight programs. To provide consistency across the Department, HSS maintains
a close working relationship with the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the Under Secretaries
of Energy and Science, line managers, and the Department's field sites.
In Memory of Mrs. Janine Anderson (1953-2009)
Champion for Nuclear Workers, Energy Employees Occupational
Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) and a former
Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Worker (K-25) passed away
on May 2, 2009, in Maryville, TN.
Mrs. Anderson was a tireless advocate
on behalf of nuclear workers. Without her dedication
EEOICPA may never have become a reality. She was the
National Outreach Coordinator for the Coalition for
a Healthy Environment (CHE), founding Board member for
the Alliance of Nuclear Worker Advocacy Groups (ANWAG),
and one of nine people from across the United States
chosen to serve on the Advisory Committee for the Cold
War Patriots (CWP). Mrs. Anderson was in Washington,
DC, the day President Clinton signed into law EEOICPA.
DOE staff members who worked frequently
with Mrs. Anderson spoke often of her compassion and
her focus on others instead of herself. She worked relentlessly
to help others receive compensation even while ignoring
her potential related medical case.
We will always remember her for the lives she touched
and her personal commitment and dedication to the EEOICPA
Program. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family and friends.
