Office of Industrial Hygiene and Safety
Information for Department of Energy Headquarters Personnel

Our mission is to promote and coordinate safety and health for DOE Headquarters property (facilities) in addition to oversight of building operations, lease/project/space management, and support services for DOE Headquarters buildings.  The Office of Industrial Hygiene and Safety provides information, guidelines, documentation, training, and materials pertaining to many aspects of safety and health within the Headquarters buildings.  The Office of Industrial Hygiene and Safety (MA-433) has created Headquarters safety and health policies and procedures for Headquarters employees and contractors.  These programs help DOE Headquarters meet our responsibilities established by the Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and DOE’s Directive on Worker Safety and Health Protection Program for DOE Federal Workers (DOE O 440.1B, dated 5-17-07) and DOE’s Guide to Worker Safety and Health Program for DOE Federal and Contractor Employees (DOE G 440.1B, dated 10-20-11).
