What instruction governs the Navy safety & occupational health program?

• A. OPNAVINST 5100.23H
• B. OPNAVINST 5530.1
• C. OPNAVINST 5100.21
• D. OPNAVINST 5500.1

Answer: (A)

The main idea is knowing which instruction provides the formal framework for the Navy’s Safety and Occupational Health Program. OPNAVINST 5100.23H is the directive that defines the Navy’s SOH program—establishing the policy, assigning responsibilities, and laying out the procedures for safety, health protection, hazard identification and control, mishap prevention, training, inspections, and compliance across Navy activities. It’s the authoritative source specifically dedicated to governing how safety and occupational health are managed Navy-wide, with revisions like H capturing updates and current requirements. Other instructions cover different topics and do not establish the SOH program’s framework.
