PROGRAMMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL, SAFETY AND<br />

HEALTH EVALUATION GUIDE<br />

Department of Defense (DoD) Regulation 5000.2-R requires that all<br />

programs, regardless of acquisition category, include a programmatic<br />

environmental, safety and health (ESH) evaluation in their acquisition<br />

strategy. The regulation does not set a format for this evaluation but<br />

requires it to describe a program/project/product manager’s (PM’s)<br />

strategy for meeting ESH requirements, establishing responsibilities and<br />

tracking progress. Developing a guide for such evaluations will help PMs<br />

plan, execute and document actions that fulfill the ESH requirements of<br />

DoD 5000.2-R.<br />

To develop a guide for analyzing five specific ESH areas: National<br />

<strong>Environmental</strong> Policy Act, <strong>Environmental</strong> Compliance, System Safety and<br />

Health, Hazardous Materials and Pollution Prevention.<br />

The development of an ESH evaluation helps ensure those actions that<br />

fulfill the ESH requirements of DoD Regulation 5000.2-R are planned,<br />

executed and documented.<br />

DoD PMs and program executive officers (PEOs).<br />

DoD 5000.2-R requires that all programs, regardless of acquisition<br />

category, include a programmatic ESH evaluation in their acquisition<br />

strategy. The PM must initiate the ESH evaluation at the earliest possible<br />

time in support of a program initiation decision (usually Milestone I) and<br />

update the evaluation throughout the program’s lifecycle.<br />

The Programmatic <strong>Environmental</strong>, Safety and Health Evaluation (PESHE)<br />

Guide can assist PMs in meeting ESH integration requirements by<br />

providing a description of techniques, practices, and processes for<br />

integrating ESH-related activities into the systems engineering program<br />

design process. It can help to document a program’s current ESH status,<br />

establish a process for monitoring changing compliance requirements,<br />

integrate ESH requirements into the program’s acquisition strategy and<br />

other program documentation, and establish a plan of action to meet
