Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences

The Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences addresses the challenges facing the 21st-century workforce, providing new knowledge and evidence-based solutions to improve worker safety, health, well-being, and productivity in Oregon, the region, and beyond.

Our faculty uses the tools of basic, clinical, and applied research to promote well-being and prevent disease and disability among workers across industries. The Institute focuses on areas critical to worker safety, health, and well-being: environmental exposure to harmful materials and conditions, supportive workplace practices, sleep and circadian health, stress, and safety at work.

The Institute is home to the Oregon Healthy Workforce Center, a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Center for Excellence for Total Worker Health®, and the NIOSH-supported Oregon Occupational Public Health Program.
