Public Health Threats to Workers

Details

• Alternative Title:
  NIOSH Disaster Science Responder Research (DSSR) Strategic Framework [2024]: Figure: Public Health Threats to Workers
• Corporate Authors:
  National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Description:
  The DSRR program develops novel and reliable approaches for collecting scientific data and conducting real-time surveillance and research during public health threats (PHTs). The program also identifies research to be performed outside the scope of an emergency to protect workers in the future. The program worked to identify and evaluate strengths and gaps, incorporate lessons learned from recent responses such as COVID-19, and create goals and objectives for the future. The Strategic Framework will continue to evolve as the program adapts to meet future occupational safety and health demands for workers. In this framework, a PHT may include disasters such as infectious disease outbreaks, chemical spills, and natural disasters. A PHT can include anything from a small-scale to a large-scale incident involving multiple jurisdictions and federal agencies. Workers impacted by a PHT may include healthcare personnel, first responders, public health personnel, meat and poultry processing workers, farm workers, airline and airport personnel, public transportation operators and other passenger drivers, grocery and food retail workers, volunteers, and delivery drivers.
