title: A comprehensive reproductive health program in the workplace.
abstract: This paper summarizes the reproductive health component of the AT&T Bell Laboratories occupational health program. The comprehensive R&D Reproductive Health Program is a collaborative effort between the Health Services Group and the Environmental Health & Safety Center. It provides a tailored curriculum to occupational health nurses and physicians so that they may respond to employee questions and concerns with detailed information and with referrals to appropriate subject-matter experts. Expanding on the typical regulatory approaches of hazard communication and right-to-know, the program encourages employees of both sexes to learn about workplace, environmental, and lifestyle aspects of reproductive and developmental health.
