Infectious Diseases

The NIEHS Worker Training Program (WTP) and its awardees have been involved in a number of infectious disease-related training and response efforts. The Ebola Biosafety and Infectious Disease Response Training Program supports the development and implementation of occupational safety and health and infection control training programs for workers in health care and non-health care settings who may be at risk for exposure to infectious diseases.

The following resources are aimed at protecting the health and safety of individuals who work in industries with the potential for exposure to infectious diseases. Please visit our Chemical and Biological Terrorism page for additional resources on bioterrorism agents/diseases and emergency responses to events involving the release of biological agents. For a list of resources applicable to a variety of natural and man-made disasters, please visit our All-Hazards Resources page.
