Contractor Safety within the Department of Defense DoD has become an increasingly important and complex issue. DoD utilizes contractors who are engaged in many different jobs and tasks including high risk operations. Often, contractors work right alongside military and government civilian personnel. Contractor safety and health can have a direct influence on the safety and well-being of installation personnel and the protection of government property. The purpose of this guide is to assist DoD contracting, legal and safety and occupational health professionals in effectively managing contractor safety and occupational health programs to help minimize these risks.
