The Outreach Core is dedicated to providing an accurate and comprehensive body of knowledge to researchers, practitioners, educators, and the general public regarding the science and practice of creating work and workplaces that prevent harms and promote health and well-being. This knowledge can be used to stimulate new research studies, develop mitigation and prevention strategies, build or modify physical workspaces, create organizational programs and practices, inspire educational curricula, initiate or modify existing certification programs to incorporate new knowledge, and generate new policy formulation and legislation. This will be achieved by extensive literature reviews of existing scientific studies and organizational best practices across multiple relevant disciplines regarding worker physical and mental health and well-being, and by new data collection on emerging working conditions and alternative work arrangements conducted over 2022 and 2023.
As information is collected, we will post updates here in easily accessible form. Join our mailing list to get updates about this and other CA Labor Lab programs.
