The medical programs within the OHS deliver high quality occupational health care services to OMAO employees, NOAA Corps officers, professional civilian mariners, aircraft operations personnel, and other personnel embarked aboard NOAA vessels and aircraft. 

OMAO's Safety and Environmental Compliance Division's (SECD) is responsible for the overall safety, security, environmental compliance and sustainability of OMAO’s personnel, assets, and ocean from which we gather data. SECD also provides regulatory oversight and is responsible for coordinating and monitoring charter vessel activities throughout NOAA.
