NIOSH Occupational Energy Research Program

 

Study Fact Sheets: Information for Workers

When a study is complete, fact sheets are created for workers to provide them with information about the study and to explain what the study found.

Below is a list of worker notifications developed for Occupational Energy Research Program (OERP) studies:

Multi-Site Leukemia Worker Notification (March 2008) presented at worker briefing September 2008 .
NIOSH researchers studied nuclear workers from five Department of Energy (DOE) sites to see if being exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation in the workplace may or may not be linked with death from leukemia.  The five DOE sites involved in the study were: Los Alamos National Laboratory, Hanford Site, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and Savannah River Site.

A cohort mortality study of chemical laboratory workers in Department of Energy Nuclear Plants (2008) .
In this study, we examined the different causes of death in chemical lab workers who worked at certain Department of Energy facilities.
