It takes a long time after exposure for these diseases to appear. It's a good idea for workers to be evaluated by a physician who can help them understand the risks and address their concerns. The WHPP is especially designed to detect health problems caused by radiation and chemical exposures at the workplace. If you are eligible and want to take part in the Program, all results will be given to you, and are confidential. The Worker Health Protection Program will help identify health problems that may have been caused by those exposures.
Eligible workers can find out more information about their own health.
Workers help design and conduct the Program. Local physicians will be trained to look for early signs of diseases that can result from exposures to these hazards. It's a chance to participate in one of the first coordinated efforts to help former workers deal with their health concerns. You will get more information, and an appointment for a screening exam in your local community. Thank you for your interest in the PACE Worker Health Protection Program.
