Worker Health Charts: A data visualization tool for worker health information										Related Pages
										*Recent updates improve usability, navigation, and efficiency*
Worker Health Charts is a valuable tool for analyzing and presenting worker health information and data. Recently, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) updated Worker Health Charts with new features to make it more user-friendly.
**What is Worker Health Charts?**
Worker Health Charts is a tool that allows users to create their own charts to assess current rates and trends in workplace injuries, illnesses, and deaths. It uses worker health information gathered by NIOSH, other CDC centers, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Worker Health Charts was created for many types of users, all with one main purpose in mind – “How can people better use worker health data to understand what’s happening in their workplace?”
People who may be interested in using Worker Health Charts vary, but include employers, workers, researchers, public health professionals, and the public. Using Worker Health Charts, these users can assess and visualize information and data that may be difficult to find or unavailable elsewhere in a quick and intuitive manner.
**Recent Improvements**
The recent improvements to Worker Health Charts include:
