OWIIPP Advisory Committee
Mission
Group meeting
The mission of the OWIIPP Advisory Committee is to share data and other information on worker injury and disease in Oregon.  The Committee will:
  • collaborate on priority issues and share resources in order to select, reduce, and prevent occupational illness and injury among Oregonians;
  • help identify and prioritize topics of concern;
  • review research and information from other states, agencies, and organizations to develop effective illness and injury interventions;
  • develop action plans with metrics for evaluating which strategies are most effective in reducing illness or injury.
Committee members recognize that they are providing advice to the Oregon Public Health Division, Department of Human Services (OPHD, DHS) and the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division (OR-OSHA).
