CDC Seeks Comment on Emerging Workplace Health Hazards in Health Care

Posted: July 28, 2017

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is collecting information from various industries to identify chemical, biological and physical hazards across U.S. workplaces, including health care settings.

Employees, employers and other representatives are free to submit comments through NIOSH's Health Hazard Evaluation (HHE) program. Written comments must be received on or before July 31. NIOSH reviews the HHE request to determine if an on-site evaluation is needed. The primary purpose of an on-site evaluation is to help employers and employees identify and eliminate occupational health hazards.
