Cancer

The Environmental and Occupational Health Surveillance Program addresses cancer concerns in the workplace but does not directly address any occupational exposure and workplace safety concerns. There are two agencies that are responsible for the enforcement of occupational health and safety regulations, depending on whether the workplace is public sector or private sector.

If concerns involve public employees, you may wish to contact the Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health (PEOSH) Unit for further assistance.

If concerns involve private sector employees, you may wish to contact the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for further assistance. These respective agencies may be contacted by Internet or telephone, as follows:

• PEOSH – http://www.nj.gov/health/peosh/ 609-984-1863
• OSHA – http://www.osha.gov 800-321-6742
