Purpose, in the publication’s words
The purpose of the DAF OEH program is to protect the health and welfare of our workforce and community environments while enhancing combat and operational capabilities and ensuring adherence to OSHA standards. The program is designed to mitigate OEH-related health risks through the optimum application of aerospace and operational medicine capabilities. It seeks to identify, assess, and eliminate or control OEH hazards associated with day-to-day operations across the full lifecycle of acquisition, sustainment and support for weapon systems, munitions and other materiel systems. The OEH program is a key component of the AF Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health (ESOH) program as directed in AFPD 90-8.
Summary of changes, as printed
This document has been revised and should be completely reviewed. This revision retains OEH requirements but removes program execution details. Major changes include the introduction of geobase capability to integrate OEH data into the shared, coordinated and collaborated platform. This publication also provides clarification of medical treatment facility (MTF) support to the military housing office and residents or patients of housing units that are government-owned and government-leased or managed under the military housing privatization initiative (MHPI). DAFI changes introduce the concept of unit based workplace OEH assessments and establish a minimum frequency of 36 months. Additionally, changes include new requirements for managing access to individual longitudinal exposure records (ILERs), increased coordination of health based risk assessment codes (RACs), employing Air Force Medical Service (AFMS) trusted care principles to manage OEH data quality, and creating and utilizing weapon system-specific standardized health risk assessments. Lastly, this DAFI introduces the Program Maturity Audit System (PMAS) as an OEH self-assessment tool and provides clarity and specificity to the measurement/assessment and management review steps of the DAF OEH management system process in chapter 5 and chapter 6.
