Recent terrorist events have caused all Americans to question
their safety against a biological or chemical attack. We have been forced to examine
our vulnerabilities as it relates to our security both at home and on the job.
As a result, the American workplace has been significantly altered by these events.
Federal Managers have had to work diligently towards quelling the fears and anxieties
that their employees expressed about coming to work during this unprecedented time.
Even today, though the threat of bioterrorism is no longer occupying the front page
of our Nation's newspapers, the issue of being safe at work may still be weighing
heavily on the mind's of the American Federal employee.
Federal Occupational
Health can assist Federal managers in addressing the issues surrounding biological
and chemical terrorism by providing the following services:
