Which unit commander is identified as the manager for the occupational health program?

• A. Workplace Supervisors
• B. Squadron Commander
• C. Public Health
• D. Aerospace Medicine Squadron/Air Reserve Medical Unit Commander

Answer: (D)

The manager of the occupational health program is the commander who leads the preventive medicine/flight health organization in the unit—the commander of the Aerospace Medicine Squadron, or the Air Reserve Medical Unit Commander in a reserve unit. This person has the formal authority to oversee health surveillance, immunizations, exposure controls, and policy compliance across the unit, coordinating with Public Health and line leadership as needed. Workplace Supervisors handle day-to-day safety tasks, and Public Health provides medical and epidemiological support, but the formal program management rests with the Aerospace Medicine Squadron Commander (or ARMU Commander in reserve).
