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.
Vision
We envision a future where all people can be healthy and safe at work.
Mission

Collect, analyze and monitor data from a variety of sources to assess the scope of occupational health concerns;
