The Workers’ Health program is involved in several projects and activities in the Region to improve working conditions and environments that are outlined in our 2008-2012 Strategic Plan. 

Our Collaborating Centers and partners play a critical role in providing knowledge, resources, and technical cooperation for these projects and activities, which are aligned with country priorities and the global and regional plans of action on workers’ health. Please see each project and activity for complete descriptions, publications, tools, and collaborators.
