Welcome to the Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health (ESOH) Community sponsored by the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment) and the DoD Acquisition ESOH Integrated Product Team. This ESOH Community supplements DoD-level policy in DoDI 5000.02, Operation of the Defense Acquisition System, and guidance in the Defense Acquisition Guidebook and provides best practices and resources on how to integrate ESOH considerations into the systems engineering and acquisition processes.
The Program Manager (PM) is required to prevent hazards where possible and manage their associated ESOH risks where hazards cannot be eliminated as part of the program's overall cost, schedule, and performance risk reduction. Risk acceptance and implementation of mitigation measures is necessary to avoid negative impacts to the environment and the surrounding community, accidental death, injury, and occupational illness. The DoD employs ESOH risk management during system acquisition and sustainment to provide our warfighters the best equipment possible for executing its mission requirements of national defense.
