What this research studies
Our goal is to help workers in the Midwest stay healthy and safe on the job. We plan to achieve this by developing new ways to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses. This includes creating educational programs and resources for both employees and employers. We also work to understand the unique health challenges faced by different types of workers in the region. Ultimately, we hope to make workplaces safer and healthier for everyone.

Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to fewer work-related injuries and illnesses, and better overall health for people in the workforce.
How similar studies have performed: Many public health and occupational safety centers have successfully improved worker health through similar outreach and research efforts.
