SECO Policies/Regulations - SAFETY

The development and implementation of internal controls is a fundamental building block on which an accountable program is established and maintained. NOAA's Safety and Occupational Health policies/manuals provide specific guidance on program responsibilities and requirements applicable throughout NOAA. These policies are developed through a concensus process involving a cross section of clients and staff and are maintained within NOAA's Office of the Chief Administrative Officer (OCAO). This page also includes links to DOC policies/manuals, Executive Orders and Federal regulations in order to provide as much information as possible to answer your questions and keep you up-to-date with environmental and safety requirements.
