Bioenvironmental Engineering
Bioenvironmental Engineering provides Offutt Air Force Base with operational health risk assessment expertise to enhance commanders' decision-making and health service support capabilities. We conduct our mission through four avenues:
- Occupational Health/Industrial Hygiene
- Readiness Plans and Operations
- Environmental Health
- Radiation/Nuclear Health and Safety
Industrial Hygiene
BE anticipates, recognizes and evaluates work-related health risks and recommends controls to mitigate hazards for more than 80 industrial work centers to include support for USSTRATCOM and the 557th Weather Wing.
Readiness Plans and Operations
BE provides chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergency response services through surveillance, risk assessment, decision support and protective measure recommendations.
Environmental Health
BE monitors Environmental Health through sampling and/or interpretation of environmental, non-industrial sources such as potable water, asbestos, and indoor air quality.
Radiation/Nuclear Health and Safety Program
The Radiation/Nuclear Health and Safety Program monitors and provides proper work conditions and hazard mitigation for all radiation-producing equipment, radioactive sources, and non-ionizing radiation sources on the installation.
