OHN Week 2024 Resource Kit

April 7-13, 2024

Occupational Health (OHN) Week is all about bringing attention and awareness to the thousands of OHNs who work in promoting and protecting the health of workers in the US and around the globe. Use these resources to spread the word and celebrate OHN Week with us! 

Talking Points

Whether you’re talking to active members, colleagues, or simply your friends, incorporate these messages in your conversations to help promote OHN Week 2024.

  • Every April, AAOHN dedicates one week to recognize the thousands of nurses who promote and protect the health, safety, and well-being of workers in the United States and around the globe. This year Occupational Health Nurses Week will take place April 7-13.
  • While most understand the function of a nurse, not everyone is aware of all the additional responsibilities that fall on an occupational and environmental health nurse’s role. From case management to health counseling to the oversight of legal and regulatory compliance, OHNs help to improve employees’ health and a business’s bottom line.
  • OHNs implement worker population health management programs that drive workers’ health, engagement and productivity. Their commitment to creating a culture of health and safety every day drives business success and demonstrates corporate social responsibility.
  • Without OHNs, a business’s bottom line may suffer. Businesses count on OHNs to protect their workers’ health which in turn helps to reduce absenteeism, lower turnover rates, improve employee morale, increase productivity, and create a positive brand image.  (Source: multiple case studies, The Business Case for OHNs)
  • AAOHN supports the OHN community as they support their own communities. OHNs keep the world open for business.
