• Description:
  The Total Worker Health(TM) Symposium on Safe, Healthy and Cost-Effective Solutions was held November 29-30, 2012. The Symposium convened all of the NIOSH Total Worker Health(TM) Centers of Excellence for a Healthier Workforce and NIOSH researchers to advance this critical research area. The symposium presented research-to-date from the NIOSH-funded Centers of Excellence and NIOSH intramural research, documented the benefits and challenges of integrated health promotion and health protection in the workplace, and identified research gaps in this field that need to be addressed. In all, over 120 people from 18 states and Washington DC were attendance. Specific Aim 1: Together with members of the Program Planning and Peer Review Committee, complete a peer review and editing of all papers summarized in symposium presentations. Specific Aim 2: To enter into a contract between the HWCE and either the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, or American Journal of Industrial Medicine to complete an independent peer review and publish the proceedings of the Total Worker Health Symposium within one year of the date of the symposium.
