The Workplace Exposure Research Program, formerly the health screening program, helps SMART members navigate the world of hazardous exposures — what to do now to prevent exposures, what to do in case of an exposure, how to get screened for possible disease and what to do once diagnosis is confirmed. Today’s workers can prevent exposures and learn about asbestosis, and other health threats on the jobsite, on the SMOHIT website.
