Illness and Injury Surveillance
Proactively identifying groups of workers that may be at increased risk for occupation-related injury and illness allows you to respond rapidly to worker health concerns.
With our experience in epidemiologic surveillance, Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) can help you to assess the overall health of your workforce, regardless of how many sites and facilities you may have. If the study indicates excess risk, we can then decide if additional investigations are needed.
Our Approach
Our management approach to illness and injury surveillance provides you with timely health information. It enhances your ability to address worker health concerns.
National Supplemental Screening Program (NSSP)

Department of Energy (DOE) Illness and Injury Surveillance Program
Under its contract to manage the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, ORAU supports DOE's effort to use epidemiologic surveillance to assess the overall health of the current DOE workforce at 14 sites and facilities.
