DOI Comprehensive Safety and Occupational Health Program Elements and Associated Standards
The DOI Health and Safety community will use the Strategic Plan to describe future direction to their leadership and management. While these metrics closely focus on organizational goals, the Safety and Occupational Health Program Elements cross-reference the specific guidelines from OSHA and the Department Manual. Through the Department’s Occupational Health and Safety annual accomplishments and SHARE reporting, the Bureaus will provide the quantitative and qualitative information to describe their progress in these goals and metrics.

and “near miss” incidents, so that their causes, and
the means for their prevention, are identified.
Performance Metrics:
- Increase Timeliness of OWCP Claim Reporting by 5% per year
- Increase percent of Safety Management Information System
(SMIS) Cases with corrective actions identified by supervisor by
5% per year

(ii) Industrial Hygiene
and Occupational Medicine |
Program Goals:
- An occupational health program is appropriate for the size
and nature of the work and its hazards and all employees, from
top management to the individual field worker, are knowledgeable
of applicable policies, standards, procedures and program information
to ensure effective program application at all levels of the organization
- Where warranted by OSHA regulation, or DOI or Bureau
policy, employees are placed in medical surveillance programs
Performance Metrics:
- Safety Program reviews indicate Exposure Assessments are conducted
and corrective actions are implemented
- Percent of employees with occupational health exposures who are
placed in a medical surveillance program
