CDC Offers High School
Curriculum in Workplace Safety and Health (11/19/07)
Working teens, 16- to 19-years old, are injured or killed on the job in disproportionately
high numbers. As a rule, they receive little or no formal safety education and
training, either in school or on the job. To fill this gap, CDC offers a new
high school curriculum, "Youth@Work: Talking Safety," designed
especially for young workers.
Medical
Surveillance for Health Care Workers Exposed to Hazardous Drugs (6/12/07)
Health care workers who handle, prepare, or administer hazardous drugs
may face risks to their own health such as skin rashes, cancer, and reproductive
disorders. Employers should establish a medical surveillance program
to protect workers who handle hazardous drugs in the workplace.
