Occupational Public Health Program | StaffAbout Us
Healthy workplaces. Healthy workers.
We conduct occupational health surveillance and develop strategies to prevent and reduce work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths through funding from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Among the many work-related injuries, conditions, and hazards that we focus on, we currently receive funds to generate occupational health indicators and track and prevent fatal work-related injuries.
The Occupational Public Health Program is part of Research and Education Services in the Center for Health Protection. Read More
