September 2014
NIOSH Docket Number 275, CDC-2014-0014
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to publish a National Agenda on Total Worker Health™. This agenda, which is in draft form, is meant to stimulate innovative research, practical applications, policy guidance, and capacity-building of Total Worker Health practitioners to improve workplace practices as they relate to Total Worker Health. Total Worker Health is a strategy integrating occupational safety and health protection with health promotion to prevent worker injury and illness and to advance health and well-being.
Stakeholders are invited to provide input on the top priority issues to include in the Proposed National Total Worker Health Agenda. Comments may be made by mail, http://www.regulations.gov, and/or in-person at one of three town-hall sessions during the following two scientific meetings: The 1st International Symposium to Advance Total Worker Health and The Healthier Federal Workers Conference. For more detailed information on how to register for the conferences and town-hall sessions, please see the Federal Register Notice. We encourage all comments; specifically, we seek those that address the following questions:
