Characterizing the Burden of Occupational Chemical Exposures by Sociodemographic Groups in the United States, 2021
Objectives. To estimate the number and prevalence of workers in the United States exposed to chemical hazards available in the Canadian job-exposure matrix (CANJEM) database and examine exposure disparities across sociodemographic groups. Methods. We merged US worker demographic data from the Current Population Survey with CANJEM to characterize the burden and sociodemographic distribution of 244 chemical exposures in the United States in 2021. A…
Working Safely in the Trades as Women
BACKGROUND: Construction work offers women economic advancement and self-fulfillment opportunities, but multiple barriers prevent their increased representation in the industry. This study used qualitative methods to identity key physical and psychosocial safety hazards affecting tradeswomen. METHODS: Three focus groups were held in 2015 with 19 tradeswomen in Washington State. Groups discussed workplace hazards and solutions to make the trades s…
Short Report
Objectives: Despite the widespread use of manganese (Mn) in industrial settings and its association with adverse neurological outcomes, a validated and reliable biomarker for Mn exposure is still elusive. Here, we utilize targeted metabolomics to investigate metabolic differences between Mn-exposed and -unexposed workers, which could inform a putative biomarker for Mn and lead to increased understanding of Mn toxicity. Methods: End of shift spot …
Climate Change Impacts and Workforce Development Needs in Federal Region X
Climate change is considered one of the top health threats in the United States. This research sought to (1) to understand the perceptions of occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals regarding the impacts of climate-related hazards on OHS in Region X, and (2) to explore the ideas of these OHS professionals regarding the content of future training programs that would better prepare OHS professionals to identify and mitigate climate-relat…

Estimating the burden of United States workers exposed to infection or disease
INTRODUCTION: With the global spread of COVID-19, there is a compelling public health interest in quantifying who is at increased risk of contracting disease. Occupational characteristics, such as interfacing with the public and being in close quarters with other workers, not only put workers at high risk for disease, but also make them a nexus of disease transmission to the community. This can further be exacerbated through presenteeism, the ter…
Nonrelocatable Occupations at Increased Risk During Pandemics
Objectives. To characterize which occupations in the United States could likely work from home during a pandemic such as COVID-19. Methods. I merged 2018 US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) national employment and wage data with measures ranking the importance of computer use at work and the importance of working with or performing for the public from the BLS O*NET survey. Results. Approximately 25% (35.6 million) of US workers are employed in oc…
