Aeronautical System Center´s ESOH programmatic risk tool

Program Managers (PMs) of major defense acquisition programs primarily use risk management to allocate resources and develop mitigation plans to reduce the potential impact to cost, schedule, and performance of weapon systems over their life cycle. Historically, Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health (ESOH) risks have not been quantitatively represented at the table when resource allocation decisions are being made. To address this concern, Aeronautical Systems Center, Acquisition Environmental, Safety & Health Division, Pollution Prevention Branch (ASC/ENW) has formed a team to develop and field the ESOH Programmatic Risk Tool (PRT). The ESOH PRT will assist PMs in meeting the requirements impacting acquisition of weapon systems by qualitatively and quantitatively evaluating ESOH risks associated with cost, schedule, and performance decisions.
