Practitioner Resources
The Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences is committed to sharing evidence-based best practices to assist employers, occupational health practitioners, human resources professionals, and others with roles in occupational health and safety. These actionable and educational tools are reviewed and highly recommended by scientists and experts to help organizations and businesses across industries enhance, improve, and create a workplace culture of safety, health, and well-being. We do so by providing web-based, self-paced training modules and printable guides and tools that support workplace safety discussions.
