At the Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences, programs and partnerships are critical to our work and enable the translation of research findings into practical solutions and resources that benefit worker health. We partner with workers and supervisors, public and private sector organizations, government agencies and industry groups to understand and address the health-related challenges facing the 21st century workforce.
Together with our partners, we develop tools, resources, training, and other solutions that promote healthy behaviors, reduce instances of workplace injuries and fatalities, and enable leaders to take positive actions to enhance worker health, safety, and well-being.
