The workplace is where 156 million working adults in the United States spend many waking hours, and it has a profound influence on health and well-being. Although some occupations and work-related activities are more hazardous than others and face higher rates of injuries, illness, disease, and fatalities, workers in all occupations face some form of work-related safety and health concerns. Understanding those risks to prevent injury, illness, or even fatal incidents is an important function of society.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee released the report. Senior Fellow Gerald Kominski, who has co-led development of the California Simulation of Insurance Markets (CalSIM), is a committee member.
