Occupational Disease
WSPS is joining its system partners in activities that
build awareness of exposure to workplace hazards
such as noise, allergens and irritants, and diesel
exhaust. By leveraging multiple channels to spread
messaging and promote access to tools, the goal is
to assist workers and employers in recognizing the
impact these hazards can have.
New & Young Workers
Alignment of prevention partner activities is the goal in this focus
area. Along with supporting MOL enforcement blitzes, WSPS
oversees other key initiatives for new and young workers, such as
Bring Safety Home, an innovative web and social media platform
targeted to parents of young workers, and the Health and Safety
Awareness Presentation (HSAP).*
Falls
Falls remain a major cause of workplace
fatalities and incidents. Work in this area
focuses on research and evaluation of
training, and the exploration of engineering
solutions to fall protection issues.
