The
Office of Occupational Health Nursing (OOHN) is OSHA's principal source of occupational health
nursing expertise. The office is staffed with licensed, board certified
Occupational Health Nurses (OHNs) who hold advanced degrees ranging from masters
level to doctorate level. These nurses and other staff provide technical
assistance in support of all OSHA activities, including outreach, partnerships,
education, and enforcement. The
Office of Occupational Medicine (OOM) is staffed by board-certified occupational medicine physicians as well as other physicians with
occupational medicine experience. Office staff may include a registered nurse who coordinates
the Compliance Officer Medical Examination program and a Health Scientist who prepares and
coordinates Medical Access Orders and handles other OOM efforts. A PhD toxicologist enhances
the OOM capabilities. One can find industrial hygienists and safety professionals, in any OSHA
office, across the United States.
