Office of Environmental Protection and ES&H Reporting

MISSION The Office of Environmental Protection and ESH Reporting works with line managers to minimize DOE’s radiological and environmental footprint and reduce its occupational health and safety impacts. The Office mitigates and controls risks to the DOE mission by partnering with line management in areas such as: (1) developing policy and standards and providing assistance in protecting the public and the environment from environmental and radiological hazards associated with DOE operations using the current science and best practices; (2) minimizing energy use, natural resources consumption, and waste generation necessary to complete mission activities; (3) collecting, summarizing and sharing lessons from workplace occurrence and event information from across the DOE complex to improve environmental, safety and health performance at DOE sites, and (4) increasing the use and improving the effectiveness of safety culture sustainment tools and strategies across the complex.
