What program was established to educate workers about hazards and necessary control measures?

The NAVOSH program, or Navy Occupational Safety and Health program, was established to educate workers about hazards they may encounter in the workplace and to inform them of necessary control measures to ensure their safety. NAVOSH is specifically tailored for Navy operations and serves to promote a culture of safety by providing training and resources that are essential for preventing workplace injuries and illnesses. The program emphasizes risk management and compliance with safety regulations, helping to create a safer working environment.

While other options like OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) oversee broader federal regulations for workplace safety, and HAZCOM (Hazard Communication) focuses specifically on the communication of chemical hazards, NAVOSH is most relevant in the context of educating personnel in the Navy about specific occupational safety and health issues unique to naval operations. NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) is primarily concerned with environmental protection and does not directly deal with workplace hazard education.
