Occupational Health Surveillance Program

The Occupational Health Surveillance Program seeks to identify and understand the health and safety risks that Tennessee workers face. We come to this understanding through analysis of the available data related to health and workers, as well as collaborating with others concerned about workers' safety. Based on our analysis, we provide insight to improve prevention and outreach efforts.

The Tennessee Department of Health receives funding from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s (NIOSH) State Surveillance Program.
