2. GENERAL REQUIREMENT

2.1 Background

The Office of Health Security (OHS) is the principal medical, workforce health and safety, and public health authority for DHS. Since the inception of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), health security has played a pivotal role in the execution of DHS’s mission. The Office of Health Security (OHS) positions the Department for a proactive and agile response to the evolving health security landscape.

OHS was created via bipartisan and bicameral legislation, which permitted the Department to effectuate a mission-targeted reorganization solely focused on departmental workforce health, safety, and medical functions. The roles, responsibilities, and authorities of the Department’s Chief Medical Officer and OHS are found in statute including 6 U.S.C. § 350, 6 U.S.C. § 597, 6 U.S.C. § 597a, and 6 U.S.C. § 321q. These authorities are further reinforced via DHS Delegation 26000, Designation 00-26000 (Designated Agency Safety and Health Official), Designation 00- 26002 (Anomalous Health Incident Agency Coordination Lead), and numerous Directives and Instructions.

Additionally, OHS is responsible for the oversight and implementation at DHS of numerous government-wide authorities, such as those related to Employee Assistance Programs and Health Service Programs (5 U.S.C. § 7901) and Worker’s Compensation Programs (5 U.S.C. § 8101, et seq). OHS also provides significant health leadership and support to ensure that the Department effectively carries out responsibilities related to immigration health under 42 U.S.C. § 249 and the due process clause of the 5th Amendment.

With a mission to protect those who protect the nation, through the delivery of high-quality health, safety, and wellness programs and policies across DHS that are vital to a mission ready and resilient DHS workforce, OHS’ Total Workforce Protection Directorate (TWPD) enriches a mission-ready DHS workforce, including working animals, to promote and sustain workforce health, prevent injury and illness, restore health, and sustain organizational wellness and psychological resilience. TWPD is responsible for programs, projects and activities in alignment with 6 U.S.C. § 350 and 6 U.S.C. § 597. Additionally, TWPD establishes departmental policies for health services programs (5 U.S.C. § 7901 and 5 U.S.C. § 7904), occupational safety and health (29 C.F.R. Part 1960) and workers’ compensation programs (5 U.S.C. § 8101 et seq.).

Embedded within TWPD, the Health and Medical Readiness Division (HMRD) works to integrate efforts towards workforce health protection through policy, guidance, and activities that maintain mission continuity while minimizing health threats and work-related injuries or disabilities. HMRD seeks to build and enhance a department-wide occupational medicine infrastructure that supports workforce health activities via overarching policy. The policy will provide a way to link information about all aspects of employee medical readiness for the purposes of improvement, surveillance, and other questions related to workforce health and readiness.
