DOE-STD-1190-2007
1. SCOPE
This standard provides recommended guidelines for the performance of Illness and Injury
Surveillance by occupational medicine programs at Department of Energy (DOE)-owned and
operated sites and at DOE-owned, contractor-operated sites regulated by the Atomic Energy Act,
Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, and Department of Energy Organization Act, 1977. The
aforementioned Acts state that DOE has the legislative mandate to monitor the impact of its
operations on the environment, the health of its workforce, and the residents of communities
surrounding DOE sites.
2. PURPOSE
The purpose of this standard is to assist DOE and its contractors in the conduct of the Illness and
Injury Surveillance Program (IISP). IISP assists DOE in meeting its responsibility to monitor the
health of its workforce at DOE sites in order to identify health hazards in the workplace. Use of this
standard will facilitate the initiation and efficient performance of Illness and Injury Surveillance
Program duties at DOE sites.
The Illness and Injury Program recruits selected DOE sites to participate in this voluntary program.
Participating sites can use the standard to clarify which data are requested for submission to the data
center and how often submissions should be made. Use of the recommendations presented in the
standard will enhance the performance of the program through improvement in the standardization
and completeness of data necessary for basic epidemiologic surveillance of worker health and
safety. Adherence to the guidance in the standard will produce higher quality data, and the quality
of information derived from analyses of these data will lead to a better understanding of the health
and safety status of workers at participating sites.

Prevention Programs (HS-13) (formerly known as the Office of Occupational Health)
