Workforce/Workplace Best Practices

The Social Security Administration enacted a comprehensive Environmental Health and Safety Program to ensure that their employees work in a safe environment with abated or controlled asbestos, clean air and water, and ergonomically correct workstations.

SSA conducted tests in all 1,500 offices to test for asbestos, radon, and the presence of lead in the water. SSA ensured that proper remediation was conducted in those offices with unhealthy levels of these chemicals.
