The Environmental Health (EH) module of DOEHRS is a key enabling technology within the presidentially mandated Force Health Protection Plan and is further supported by Public Law 105-85. DOEHRS-IH is used for ‘Protecting Personnel in support of military operations through the identification, evaluation, and control of occupational and environmental health stressors”. It is a comprehensive, automated information system for assembling, comparing, using, evaluating, and storing environmental health surveillance data, occupational personnel exposure information, workplace environmental monitoring data, and observation of work practices data. DOEHRS-IH provides information needed by Occupational and Environmental Health (OEH) staff and command surgeons for reporting options to commanders regarding the reduction of health threats.
