The Secretary of Energy places a high priority on achieving excellence in DOE occupational health and safety programs. The Department is undertaking many critical initiatives in responding to this Secretarial priority. In support of these critical initiatives, DOE established this DOE Industrial Hygiene Coordinating Committee (IHCC) to efficiently and effectively communicate and coordinate intradepartmental industrial hygiene program activities. The goal of this committee is to facilitate achieving the Department's priority of being an exemplary industrial hygiene program in the industrial hygiene community.
