Worker Safety & Health Program Has New Name

Did you know that NIOSH's WorkLife Program has changed its name to Total Worker Health? The change was made to address a wider range of factors that may influence employees' safety, health, ability to work and well-being in every aspect of their lives. With this change, NIOSH has begun to build intramural programs to protect worker safety on the job along with health promotion and wellness. The agency will focus on protecting and promoting the program through partnerships, research and interventions. Check out the website to learn more about efforts that hope to create environments and policies in tune with Total Worker Health.
