About this page ...

The Department of Defense (DoD) is committed to protecting human health and the environment, in an uninterrupted and cost-effective manner, while ensuring the success of its core mission. DoD strives to ensure effective and efficient compliance with all Federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, and provides guidance to the DoD Components for meeting those requirements, as necessary. Ensuring that the systems acquisition process considers risks and protects human health and the environment is critical to sustaining the DoD mission.

Environment, safety, and occupational health (ESOH) must be considered during the system acquisition process and for the duration of the system's lifecycle. As part of a program's overall cost, schedule, and performance risk reduction, the Program Manager (PM) must prevent ESOH hazards, where possible, and manage ESOH hazards where they cannot be avoided.
