The Air Force Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health vision is to be a world leader in ESOH management -- to provide better care for our Airmen and our environment -- to meet our mission in air, space, and cyberspace. In pursuit of this vision, it is important for you to understand our three ESOH priorities:
· Comply: First and foremost, we must comply with all ESOH legal obligations. Every Airman must know and comply with the laws, instructions, and policies that apply to their work, Commanders will fund all ESOH legal obligations and requirements necessary for compliance or request assistance from higher headquarters.
· Reduce risk: Effective ESOH risk management will ensure each of us remain a contributor to our mission as well as safeguard our natural and manmade resources. Every Airman must understand the hazards associated with their work and take action to protect themselves, their fellow Airmen, and the environment.
· Continuously improve: We seek a culture of continuous ESOH improvement. Every Airman must constantly seek to minimize ESOH risks and to improve the way we all contribute to the mission.
