Workplace health surveillance

Abstract

Occupational Health Surveillance Programs provide baseline and periodic measurements to detect abnormalities in employees exposed to work-related health hazards. The early detection prevents or limits disease progression by exposure modification or medical intervention. Managers are responsible to refer faculty and staff who are involved in research projects or work in areas with potential exposures to work hazards to Occupational Health & Wellness at extension 52647. For additional information regarding these programs please visit the [1]Occupational Health Surveillance webpage [1].
