• Description:
  The Occupational Health Equity Program seeks to eliminate health inequities that lead to injury, illness, and death that are closely linked with social, economic, or environmental disadvantage. This snapshot shows recent accomplishments and upcoming work.
  
  Not all workers have the same risk of experiencing a work-related health problem, even when they have the same job. Factors that place some workers at greater risk include exclusion and discrimination based on race, ethnicity, place of birth, age, class, and gender; economic trends such as the growth of the temporary workforce; and organizational factors such as business size. These underserved workers may need additional or different tools, strategies, and resources to promote occupational safety and health. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Occupational Health Equity Program seeks to improve occupational health and safety in specific, higher-risk populations with the help of partners in industry, labor, trade associations, professional organizations, and academia. The program focuses on these areas:
  
  • Decreasing injury and illness in industries where underserved workers are frequently employed
  
  • Decreasing fatal occupational injuries and illnesses among underserved workers
