Occupational Health Nurse Business Cards for COHN and ABOHN Certified Professionals

Occupational health nurses (OHNs) are the registered nurses who specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of work-related and work-aggravated illnesses, injuries, and health conditions — providing clinical care at the worksite, managing workers' compensation programs, conducting health surveillance, implementing wellness programs, ensuring OSHA compliance, and advocating for the health and safety of employees. OHNs work in manufacturing plants, construction sites, corporate headquarters, hospitals, healthcare systems, military installations, mines, and virtually every industry sector.
