1. Background

NASA’s Occupational Health Program (OHP) encompasses seven constituent areas, all working synergistically to support employee health.  These seven constituent programs include Occupational Medicine; Industrial Hygiene; Health Physics; Health Promotion, Wellness, and Fitness; Federal Workers' Compensation; Food Safety; and Employee Assistance Program, all of which meet the NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) 1800.1.  Record keeping is an overlapping area of these seven fundamental areas.
