Occupational Medicine
The Occupational Medicine Program is a vital component of the Office of Health (OH).
Our goal is to foster a strong alliance between the Office of Health and site
occupational medical directors (SOMDs) across the DOE complex and to facilitate
communications and interactions among the medical directors, especially in relation
to those activities that enhance worker health protection.
A Steering Committee of DOE Medical Directors has been
organized from within the community of DOE contractor SOMDs. Based
on their recommendation, the complex-wide body of DOE SOMDs meets regularly as a subgroup of the Integrated Safety Management (ISM) Working Group-Occupational
Safety and Health Subgroup of the Energy Facility Contractors Group
(EFCOG).
This alliance is intended to encourage open lines of communicaiton as OH develops policies and standards
that facilitate the provision of high-quality occupational medical
services and prevention-oriented, health surveillance programs at
DOE sites, as well as worker fitness-for-duty examinations and human
reliability programs.
Goals:
- Provide a forum for discussion and collaboration between and
among OHP and SOMDs.
- Determine the need for policies and rules related to the delivery
of occupational medicine services to DOE site contractor employees.
- Provide guidance and support that will facilitate regulatory
compliance.
- Encourage an environment that is conducive to the promotion
and protection of worker health.
