The commonality between all efforts undertaken by the Department of Energy is an unwavering commitment to the protection of our workers, our nation, and the environment. DOE works diligently to ensure that all programs are performed in a safe, healthful, and environmentally sound manner.
In an effort to guarantee the health and safety of the more than 130,000 employees and Contractors who work for the Department, DOE maintains the Office of Environment, Safety and Health. The mission of this office is to guarantee the safety of our workforce and the safe operation of DOE’s programs.
In addition, our Office of Environmental Management and the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management work to ensure the safety of the environment and the safe handling and storage of waste generated by Energy and Nuclear Weapons production.
