control measures are necessary to implement and evaluate. However, this small investment in time
will pay huge dividends in improved safety, health, well-being and operational readiness, and also
improve the quality and reduce the time necessary to conduct ORM assessments.
10. CEM PRACTITIONERS. While any unit can implement a basic CEM program using Enclosure (1),
specialized training is available for those seeking more advanced CEM applications. A 3-day course
introduces the research behind CEM, provides specific instruction on how to identify and control
endurance risk, and demonstrates how to implement CEM programs. Upon successful completion of
this course, attendees are recognized as Certified CEM Practitioners, and can assist units with
implementing CEM programs. A cadre of CG personnel is being trained as certified CEM
practitioners to support unit CEM implementation needs. Currently, Safety and Environmental
Health Officers (SEHO), Independent Duty (Health Services) Technicians, Maintenance and
Logistics Commands Health and Safety Division, and Health Promotion Managers are being
certified as CEM practitioners. The CEM practitioners serve as subject-matter-experts to answer
questions on CEM, assist field units to conduct endurance risk assessments, and provide referrals to
the CG Headquarters program manager for more specialized needs. It is estimated that CEM
practitioners will spend approximately 5 hours per month on CEM support. Representatives from
field units wishing to attend this specialized training should contact the Office of Safety and
Environmental Health (CG-113) at CG Headquarters.
