- Partner with diverse groups to enable state-wide outreach and action.

OPHP values Oregon's workers and keeping them healthy and safe. We value a work environment where excellence, mutual respect, trust and professionalism are evident.

| Projects and Initiatives |
|
We conduct occupational health surveillance and develop strategies to prevent and reduce work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths through funding from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Among the many work-related injuries, conditions, and hazards that we focus on, we receive funds to specifically track and prevent work-related burn injuries and fatalities.
