Jeffrey S. Lee Lectureship 2010 Lecturer
Lecturer: John Howard, MD, MPH, JD, LLM, Director, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Howard also serves as the Coordinator of the Department’s World Trade Center Health Programs. Dr. Howard was first appointed NIOSH Director in 2002 and served until 2008. In 2008 and 2009, Dr. Howard worked as a consultant with the U.S. Government’s Afghanistan Health Initiative and with the Public Health Law Program in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Prior to his appointment as Director of NIOSH in 2002, Dr. Howard served as Chief of the Division of Occupational Safety and Health in the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency from 1991 through 2002. Dr. Howard is board-certified in internal medicine and occupational medicine. He is admitted to the practice of medicine and law in the State of California and in the District of Columbia, and he is a member of the U.S. Supreme Court bar. He has written numerous articles on occupational health law and policy. Dr. Howard’s lecture will discuss how work in the 21st Century may not resemble work as we currently know it. There will be changes in workplace hazards due to new technologies, changes in employment patterns due to the rise of contingent work, and changes in the face of workers given the demographics of the aging workforce. An aging workforce presents those in safety and health with many challenges. How to surmount those challenges will be the topic of the presentation. |
