Occupational Health Surveillance Manual

Abstract

This manual has been developed to provide occupational health professionals and others with a useful reference, oriented toward specific chemical, physical, and biological hazards common throughout the Department of Defense, for the medical surveillance of the DoD work force. Since occupational diseases can largely be prevented or their effects minimized through appropriate environmental and medical surveillance, use of this manual will strengthen the DoD Components' occupational health programs. Its implementation shall satisfy the basic medical surveillance program prescribed in DoD Instruction 6055.5 (reference (a)) by providing uniform procedures to help identify the health risks associated with workplace hazards.
