### Project MDSH — Safety Program Management

The MDA OSH program establishes the plans, policies, responsibilities, and guidelines for complying with statutory, regulatory, and Department of War (DoW) policy and program directives. It also protects human resources through accident prevention; safeguards MDA systems, property, and equipment; and ensures compliance with all appropriate statutes, regulations, Executive Orders, and DoW policies. Furthermore, OSH develops and implements safety requirements, mitigates safety risks to the lowest practical level, and ensures a safe workplace for all MDA employees and contractors.
