The Former Worker Medical Surveillance Program was ordered by which body in 1993?

  1. U.S. Department of Agriculture

  2. U.S. Department of Education

  3. U.S. Department of Energy

  4. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

The correct answer is: U.S. Department of Energy

This program was ordered specifically by the U.S. Department of Energy in 1993. The other options, while important government bodies, do not have jurisdiction over worker medical surveillance programs. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is responsible for agricultural policies and programs, the U.S. Department of Education primarily focuses on education policies and programs, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services deals with public health and human services. Therefore, option C is the only appropriate choice for this answer.
