CHAPTER A2
Navy policy is to maintain safe and healthy working conditions
for personnel and enhance operational readiness and mission
accomplishments by establishing an aggressive safety and
occupational health (SOH) program that will reduce occupational
injuries, illnesses or deaths, and material loss or damage.
A2- CNO
is responsible for
implementation and management of the SOH program and, in
coordination with the Commandant of the Marine Corps, for
matters of mutual concern.
A2- Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces (CFFC)
Conduct and maintain an aggressive and comprehensive
SOH program.
A2- COMMANDER U.S. FLEET
Assign SOH responsibilities to qualified personnel as
a primary duty billet.
A2- COMMANDER U.S. FLEET
regional and shore host activity commanders regarding support
services for traffic, recreational and off-duty, home, hazardous
materials/waste, and other aspects of SOH provided to local
afloat units.
A2- Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command
(COMNAVSEASYSCOM), and Commander, Naval Air Systems Command
(COMNAVAIRSYSCOM), ensure that:
SOH aspects are considered in the design and
engineering of all ships and aircraft, weapons or weapon systems,
equipment, materials, supplies, and facilities which are acquired,
constructed, or provided through COMNAVSEASYSCOM/COMNAVAIRSYSCOM.
A2- BUMED
provides support in all aspects of occupational health, including
occupational medicine, industrial hygiene, and environmental
health.
A2- Navy environmental and preventive
medicine units and naval medical treatment facilities provide
assistance to afloat commands in the occupational health aspects
of the SOH program.
