The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act

Energy workers can operate in a variety of extremely dangerous conditions, often handling volatile materials to complete their work.

As a result of the possible dangers of this line of work, the Department of Energy uses the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program to compensation injured workers.

The following individuals, working for or under the Department of the Energy, may be covered through this type of compensation:

  • Contract workers
  • Subcontracted employees
  • Select Department of Energy vendors
  • Department of Energy workers

These individuals may be allowed to file for compensation under the Department of Energy’s compensation system, and it is important that they are properly apprised of their legal rights.
