Here are some ideas to get you started.
– Many of us spend a significant portion of our lives at work. In 2011,
65 percent of the population worked full time and year round.
–
Many hazards or exposures that concern the general population are seen
first and in much higher concentrations in the workplace.
For example:
Hazards related to butter flavoring chemical mixtures, including
diacetyl, that have been associated with severe obstructive work-related
lung disease popularly know as “popcorn lung” were first identified in
the workplace.
Health implications related to nanomaterials are
being researched in the workplace. This research will help make these
innovative materials safer for the workers who produce and use them and
in turn safer for the general public.
Overexposure to lead
remains a leading cause of workplace illness. Workers can also expose
their families unintentionally if they track lead home on their skin,
clothing, or equipment.
Increasingly, health professionals,
employers, and workers see the interactive value of combining workplace
health protection with workplace-based health promotion—what we call
Total Worker Health™.
Based on medical costs and productivity
losses, in 2007, the cost of work-related fatalities and nonfatal
injuries and illnesses was estimated at approximately $263 billion in
2010 dollars. This amount exceeds the individual cost of cancer,
coronary heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Everyone deserves a healthy and safe workplace:
In 2011, 4,609 U.S. workers died from work-related injuries.iv
Employers reported approximately 3 million injuries and illnesses to
workers in private industry and 820,900 in state and local government in
2011.v In the same year, approximately 2.9 million workers were treated
in emergency departments and 110,000 were hospitalized (CDC,
unpublished data, 2013).
Fatal occupational illnesses are not
tracked comprehensively by national surveillance systems so the total
must be estimated. In 2007 there were an estimated 53,445 deaths from
occupational illness.
