What program has the Navy established to comply with OSHA and EPA regulations?

The Hazardous Material Control and Management program is designed specifically to comply with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) regulations. This program focuses on the proper handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment. By adhering to this program, the Navy can mitigate the risks associated with hazardous substances, maintain a safe working environment, and ensure compliance with federal regulations.

This program involves training personnel on the proper protocols for managing hazardous materials, which includes understanding Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), utilizing protective equipment, and following specific procedures for the disposal of hazardous waste. The emphasis on rigorous controls aligns with the objectives of both OSHA, which seeks to protect workers’ health and safety, and the EPA, which aims to protect the environment from pollution and its harmful effects.

The other options, while related to safety and environmental management, do not specifically address the compliance aspects regarding hazardous material as directly as the Hazardous Material Control and Management program does. The Environmental Awareness Program primarily focuses on general environmental education and awareness rather than specific regulatory compliance. The Safety Management System deals with broader safety protocols but may not directly cover hazardous material management. The Pollution Prevention Program is focused on reducing waste and pollution output
