System: DOEHRS
Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System
a.k.a, DOHRS
The Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System (DOEHRS) is an
integrated Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health (ESOH) application supporting
Department of Defense (DoD) initiatives to capture, store, and analyze the exposure history
of military-related personnel throughout their life.
The DOEHRS suite includes
DOEHRS-HC (Hearing Conservation) and
DOEHRS-IH (Industrial Hygiene).
DOEHRS-HC provides noise exposure surveillance, diagnostic evaluation and management of auditory
pathology, hearing loss and injury referrals, auditory readiness documentation, and documentation
of medical outcomes. DOEHRS-IH provides the ability to capture workplace and environmental
exposure information, support industrial hygiene decisions, directly view environmental
laboratory results and actively track air, water and soil environmental hazards in theater
operations. If "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", DOEHRS’ support of
preventive environmental, safety, hearing conservation, and occupational health programs
will save the U.S. taxpayer billions of dollars throughout its lifecycle.
