Purpose
Protecting the health and safety of workers is a major consideration for hazardous waste site remediation. NMCFHPC is staffed with certified industrial hygienists and safety experts who provide technical health and safety support to Navy and Marine Corps sites.
Our safety experts developed a Health and Safety Plan (HASP) checklist and an Accident Prevention Plan (AAP) review checklist for hazardous waste sites to help environmental managers evaluate their individual programs and ensure any work on their sites is both safe and legal.
See the current checklists >>
Clinical guidance, including recognition, management and clinical isolation guidance are generally covered by CDC: CDC Clinical Overview
Clinical management for Fleet medical personnel can be found in the NMCFHPC Fleet Mpox Medical Guidance
Clinical guidance for MTFs can be found in the DHA Mpox Guidance Update_5Sept2024
Currently, neither mpox testing nor treatment are readily available in a forward deployed operational setting. Units should identify suspected cases, isolate them, and move them for care at an MTF when operationally feasible.
