Health Program administered out of the Spokane Mining Research Division

Matters To Be Considered: The agenda will include brief updates on
current miner health (and related exposure) research. The updates will
be followed by panel discussions regarding: (1) Mental health and

exemplar worker health programs, (4) heat stress and fitness for duty,
(5) health data sources and surveillance strategies, (6) updating
health and evaluation needs. Each panel will seek input and discuss the
health and safety implications associated with these various topics,
and identify gaps for further study. Agenda items are subject to change
as priorities dictate.
