Book Description
Following the 1991 Persian Gulf War, research and investigations into the causes of servicemembers' unexplained illnesses were hampered by inadequate occupational and environmental exposure data. In 1997, the Department of Defense (DOD) developed a military-wide health surveillance framework that includes occupational and environmental health surveillance (OEHS)--the regular collection and reporting of occupational and environmental health hazard data by the military services. GAO is reporting on (1) how the deployed military services have implemented DOD's policies for collecting and reporting OEHS data for Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and (2) the efforts under way to use OEHS reports to address both immediate and long-term health issues of servicemembers deployed in support of OIF. GAO recommends that the Secretary of Defense improve deployment OEHS data collection and reporting and evaluate OEHS risk management activities. GAO also recommends that the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs (VA) jointly develop a federal research plan to address long-term health effects of OIF deployment. DOD plans to take steps to meet the intent of our first recommendation and partially concurred with the other recommendations. VA concurred with our recommendation for a joint federal research plan.

Book Description
U.S. Navy NTRP 4-02.9 U.S. AIR FORCE AFTTP 3-2.82_IP U.S. ARMY ATP 4-02.82 Occupational And Environmental Health Site Assessment APRIL 2012 According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff memorandum MCM 0028-07 (Nov2007), Procedures for Deployment Health Surveillance, "force health protection (FHP) provides the conceptual framework for optimizing force health readiness and protecting Department of Defense (DOD) personnel from occupational and environmental health (OEH) threats associated with deployments and military Service." Deployment health surveillance is a critical component of health risk management and FHP. Deployment health surveillance includes identifying and assessing OEH threats, recognizing potential exposure pathways for deployed populations, documenting and reporting health risk, and implementing preventive measures to reduce the health risk posed by those OEH threats. The occupational and environmental health site assessment (OEHSA) is the key information organizing process and report that supports OEH risk management activities on military installations in an operational environment. The OEHSA documents environmental conditions, identifies potential OEH threats, guides OEH data collection activities and further risk assessments, and summarizes acute or immediate risk mitigation actions. Health risk assessment (HRA) and health risk management are critical parts of deployment health surveillance. The OEHSA is the first step of the process that supports data collection and risk assessments over time. HRAs anticipate, identify, prioritize, and assess health threats and compare residual risks across potential controls and countermeasures. OEHSAs are a key element of the HRA process and assist Service preventive medicine personnel to adequately support FHP and local commanders' risk management decisions concerning OEH threats

Book Description
Risk management is especially important for military forces deployed in hostile and/or chemically contaminated environments, and on-line or rapid turn-around capabilities for assessing exposures can create viable options for preventing or minimizing incapaciting exposures or latent disease or disability in the years after the deployment. With military support for the development, testing, and validation of state-of-the-art personal and area sensors, telecommunications, and data management resources, the DOD can enhance its capabilities for meeting its novel and challenging tasks and create technologies that will find widespread civilian uses. Strategies to Protect the Health of Deployed U.S. Forces assesses currently available options and technologies for productive pre-deployment environmental surveillance, exposure surveillance during deployments, and retrospective exposure surveillance post-deployment. This report also considers some opportunities for technological and operational advancements in technology for more effective exposure surveillance and effects management options for force deployments in future years.
