The Worker Health Chartbook 2004 includes a substantial amount
of information based on data and other contributions from the Office of
Safety, Health, and Working Conditions, Bureau of Labor Statistics. We
extend a special note of appreciation to the following members of their
staff for their cooperation and support throughout the development and
review of the Chartbook: William Weber (retired), Katharine Newman,

The nature and extent of the content of the Chartbook provided
a significant challenge to our technical reviewers. We extend our thanks
for their time, constructive comments, and suggestions.
