Help stimulate integrated research, practical applications, policy guidance and capacity-building, all for the goal of creating safer, healthier workers.
Dear NIOSH Total Worker HealthTM Stakeholder,
You are invited to provide input on the top priority issues to include in the Proposed National Total Worker HealthTM Agenda. 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 researchers and practitioners to improve workplace practices as they relate to Total Worker Health.
Provide comments in-person at one of three town-hall sessions at either the 1st International Symposium to Advance Total Worker Health or the Healthier Federal Workers 2014 Conference.All conference participants who have registered to attend one or both of the conferences, limited only by the capacity of the conference room, are invited provide oral comments and listen in at one of the following three town-hall sessions.
Participants who wish to speak during one of the town-hall sessions (first-come, first-served) must register by October 1, 2014 by sending an email to stamers@cdc.gov. Each speaker will have a total of 5 minutes to speak. It is recommended that the speaker not read written comments, but rather highlight critical points in the written material that should be submitted to the NIOSH-275 Docket. Please note that you may only sign-up for comment during one town-hall session. An email confirming registration will be sent from NIOSH and will include details needed to participate. Oral comments given at the meeting will be recorded and included in NIOSH-275 Docket.
Official written comments, identified by CDC-2014-0014 and docket number NIOSH-275, may be submitted by any of the following methods by 11:59 p.m. EST on December 22, 2014.
