Military Occupational Health Surveillance Program

Abstract

Responses were received from 37 HSC medical treatment facilities (100%) regarding their occupational health surveillance programs. The occupational health programs are directed toward meeting the requirements for job specific medical surveillance of civilian employees. For active duty military personnel determined to be potentially exposed to occupational or job- related hazards, medical surveillance programs are limited, if available at all. An AMEDD health care delivery system which would provide for job specific medical surveillance of military personnel determined to be potentially exposed to occupational or job-related hazards would require more adequate staffing to provide the services. Identification of personnel at risk could be facilitated using guidelines for SSIs and MOSs with potential exposures to hazards. These medical surveillance guidelines are available from USAEHA. Additional requirements are determined by on site inspections and industrial hygiene hazards inventories.
