Abstract

Department of Defense (DoD) maintenance activities are committed to protecting human health and the environment while ensuring the success of their core mission. Environment, safety, and occupational health (ESOH) must be considered as part of a maintenance program’s overall cost, schedule, and performance risk reduction. Due to the inherent dangers of working in maintenance facilities which often involves operating large machines, working with solvents and coatings, or using heavy tools and equipment often in tight spaces; managers must apply risk management strategies and protective measures to reduce or eliminate mishaps, injuries, and illnesses. This forum will discuss some of the environmental/safety practices implemented at DoD maintenance activities to include advancing safe operations through advanced materials and coatings, hazardous materials removal, confined space monitoring, and worker safety through the use of robotics.
