Our Mission
The Indian Affairs Offices of Facilities, Property and Safety Management (OFPSM) oversees the Division of Safety and Risk Management (DSRM). DSRM’s mission is to provide senior leadership, policy, and oversight for Indian Affairs’ (IA) safety programs required by law. This includes occupational safety and health, industrial safety, and non-law enforcement public safety. DSRM seeks to develop, revise, evaluate, and implement policy, plans, programs, directives, and guidelines that are published in the Indian Affairs Manual (IAM).
OFPSM is working on making our pages more user-friendly and service-oriented. During this time, there may be some discrepancies between the layouts of organizational and specific service pages as they enter the review and approval stages. We encourage you to contact the Division of Safety and Risk Management below if you have any specific questions or concerns.
