CHR Newsletter—May 16, 2019



"We do so appreciate your support with funding over the years. You have been a real friend of Occupational Health and Environmental Nurses for a long time."
-AAOHN Foundation

Big Growth—and Change—Expected for the Safety Profession


The opportunities for safety professionals are expected to continue growing over the next several years at a rate higher than most occupations. In fact, jobs for occupational safety and health technicians are expected to grow over 10% through 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Periodically Reevaluating Your PPE


New equipment, products, or chemicals might make the PPE that was perfect last year less than ideal for what you're doing now. It's also worth asking if any new OSHA rules affect the PPE you choose. It can keep your workers safer and more compliant and might even improve your safety program as a whole.

National Women's Health Week 5/12-18


During National Women's Health Week each year, millions of women take steps to improve their health. The week serves as a reminder for women to make their health a priority and build positive health habits for life.

Top Counties at Risk for Measles


A new analysis co-led by The Johns Hopkins University identified 25 United States counties that are most likely to experience measles outbreaks in 2019. The analysis was published on May 9 in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.

The Dangers of Hearing Loss


The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reports that 22 million U.S. workers are exposed to damaging noise levels at work, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), workplace-related hearing loss is the most commonly reported injury.

Public Health Practice and Heat Stress


Whenever heat stress exceeds occupational exposure limits, workers should be protected by acclimatization programs, training about symptom recognition and first aid, and provision of rest breaks, shade, and water.

Stressed at Work and Trouble Sleeping?


Work stress and impaired sleep are linked to a threefold higher risk of cardiovascular death in employees with hypertension. That's the finding of research published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology.

FDA Campaign to Rid Homes of Opioids


As part of its effort to combat the nation's opioid crisis, the Food and Drug Administration has launched a campaign to encourage Americans to safely remove and dispose of unused prescription opioids from their homes.

Occupational Health Research Round-up: May 2019
