Raleigh, NC — The Health Enhancement Research Organization and the Office for Total Worker Health at NIOSH have teamed up to develop an online portal for safety researchers and employers.
The HERO Worker Well-Being Clearinghouse is an open-source database that houses “de-identified” data from the NIOSH Worker Well-Being Questionnaire, or WellBQ. The data contains “no identifying information that can be linked to specific people,” NIOSH says.
“HERO invites organizations and researchers across industries to join this groundbreaking effort in enhancing worker well-being,” the nonprofit says in a press release.
Users of WellBQ will receive a report with their results and can opt to share anonymous data with the clearinghouse.
According to its website, HERO is dedicated to identifying and sharing best practices to improve the health and well-being of workers, their spouses, dependents and retirees.
