California Labor Laboratory (CALL)

项目摘要/总结-加州劳动实验室 我们的全面工人健康卓越中心，加州劳动实验室（CALL）的目标是 了解紧急工作条件的原因，预防或减轻紧急工作条件对健康的影响。轴线 包括替代性工作安排和临时就业形式的增加， 传统的工作条件受到侵蚀。CALL将强调对那些最容易受到影响的人的健康影响。 包括少数种族和族裔;妇女;移民;低工资工人; 残疾人;年轻和年长的工人，特别是患有慢性病的工人。COVID-19已经明确表示， 这些群体在变化面前是多么脆弱。对他们福利的关心激励了拟议中的中心。 加州不仅是美国人口最多的州（略低于4000万），也是美国人口最多的州之一。 在种族和民族构成上的多样性。加州在工作组织方面也一直是潮流的引领者， 很大一部分劳动力不是直接受雇于为其工作的公司。 CALL有以下具体目标：1）通过研究描述替代性工作的普遍性 安排，记录这些工作安排之间的病因联系，重要的哨兵 工作条件和不利的健康结果，并进行研究，以揭示机制， 将工作安排转化为健康状况不佳; 2）减轻替代工作对健康的影响 通过一个强大的外展计划，包括跨学科的发展安排 基于CALL研究的健康工作培训计划，为工人和雇主提供最佳的咨询， 实践，并与政府监管，行政和立法部门的政策制定者合作， 州和联邦一级通过政策论坛制定立法以改善工作健康状况。 CALL是美国两所顶尖研究型大学的联合奋进，加州大学位于 伯克利（UCB）和旧金山弗朗西斯科（UCSF），但包括来自哈佛，加州大学洛杉矶分校和国家的参与者 公共卫生部。几个项目将联合发起和使用一项对5,000名工作人员的纵向调查。 研究紧急工作组织和工作场所暴露对健康的影响， 开发和测试多层面工具，以评估就业状况。其他项目将使用 为研究工作条件不平等的影响和国家的 公共卫生监督权力，以衡量就业的影响，在石材加工业对 其主要是移民劳动力的健康。CALL的评估和规划核心发展战略 指导中心，管理其运作，并评估其进展。该中心的活动是 由一个杰出的外部咨询委员会指导。社区参与委员会 将把国家的不同人口的观点纳入该中心的设计和实施， 开展研究和外联活动，以减少对弱势群体的影响。

Project Abstract/Summary – California Labor Laboratory The goal of our Total Worker Health Center of Excellence, the California Labor Laboratory (CALL) is to understand the causes of and prevent or mitigate the health impacts of emergent working conditions. The axes of change in work include the growth of alternative work arrangements and contingent forms of employment, and erosion of traditional working conditions. CALL will emphasize the health impacts on those most vulnerable to the changes, including racial and ethnic minorities; women; immigrants; low wage workers; persons with disabilities; and younger and older workers, especially those with chronic diseases. Covid-19 has made it clear just how vulnerable these groups are to the changes. Concern for their welfare motivates the proposed Center. California not only has the largest population of any state, at just under 40 million, but it is among the most diverse in its racial and ethnic composition. California has also been a trend-setter in work organization, with large proportion of the workforce not being directly hired by the firm for which the work is done. CALL has these specific aims: 1) To describe, through RESEARCH, the prevalence of alternative work arrangements, document the etiological connection between those work arrangements, important sentinel working conditions, and adverse health outcomes, and perform research to uncover the mechanisms that translate work arrangements into poor health; and 2) To mitigate the health impacts of alternative work arrangements through a robust OUTREACH program encompassing the development of an interdisciplinary training program for healthy work based on research from CALL, consulting to workers and employers on best practices, and working with policymakers in regulatory, executive, and legislative branches of government at the State and Federal level to develop legislation to improve the health of work through the POLICY FORUM. CALL is a joint endeavor of two of the premier research universities in the nation, the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) and San Francisco (UCSF), but includes participants from Harvard, UCLA, and the State Department of Public Health. Several projects will jointly sponsor and use a longitudinal survey of 5,000 working age Californians to study the effect of emergent work organization and workplace exposures on health and to develop and test a multidimensional tool to evaluate the health of employment. Additional projects will use a customized sample of service workers to study the impact of inequality in working conditions and the State’s public health surveillance powers to gauge the impact of employment in the stone fabrication industry on the health of its largely immigrant workforce. CALL’s EVALUATION and PLANNING CORE develops strategic direction for the Center, manages its operations, and evaluates its progress. The activities of the Center are guided by a distinguished EXTERNAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE. The COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT BOARD will bring the perspectives of the State’s diverse population into the design and implementation of the Center’s research and outreach activities to reduce impacts on vulnerable populations.
