How the CNYOHCC Can Help

Promoting a safe work environment concerns everyone.

No matter where you work, or what you do, whether you are an employee or an employer, work is an important part of your life. Unfortunately, it also can present a health hazard.

The Central New York Occupational Health Clinical Center:

• can provide a medical evaluation (for individuals or groups) to determine if health problems may be related to the work environment.
• is here to work with you and help you identify workplace illness and health risks. Because occupational disease arises from workplace conditions, it is highly preventable through the alteration of those conditions.
• can show you how to reduce or eliminate hazardous exposures.
• also offers assistance in modifying your worksite and/or work habits to prevent further health problems.
