Purpose.

The purpose of the AF OEH Program is to protect the health and welfare of our workforce and community environments while enhancing combat, operational capabilities, and ensuring adherence to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. The program is designed to mitigate OEH-related health risks through the optimum application of Aerospace Medicine capabilities. It seeks to identify, assess, and eliminate or control occupational and environmental health exposures and/or health hazards associated with day-to-day operations across the full life-cycle of acquisition, sustainment and support for weapons systems, munitions and other materiel systems. The OEH program is a key component of the AF ESOH program as directed in AFPD 90-8.
