Occupational Exposure and Worker Health Studies
Success Stories
Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) offers more than three decades of experience in epidemiology and worker health studies and programs.
From the study of worker exposure history to the collection and analysis of worker health history data, our breadth of experience allows us to design a customized study or program to meet your unique needs.
In addition to ongoing work for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), we provide epidemiologic assistance and expertise to other government agencies and major industries. The stories provided here highlight some of our recent successes.
