About
Sara L. Tamers is a prominent occupational safety and health researcher whose work centers on the evolving landscape of worker well-being, organizational policy, and the future of work. Based at the CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Tamers has made significant contributions to understanding how rapid technological, organizational, and workforce changes intersect with occupational safety and health (OSH) priorities. Her most influential work, "Envisioning the future of work to safeguard the safety, health, and well-being of the workforce" (2020), has garnered 193 citations, reflecting its substantial impact on how researchers and policymakers conceptualize emerging workplace challenges — from technological job displacement to shifting work arrangements and organizational design. Alongside this, her advocacy for the Total Worker Health® framework positions holistic, integrated approaches to worker safety as essential in an era of accelerating industrial and technological change. Tamers' research is particularly valuable for students and practitioners seeking to understand how institutions like NIOSH are proactively shaping OSH strategy in response to a transformed world of work, bridging evidence-based research with forward-looking public health policy. Her scholarship serves as a critical foundation for anyone studying modern workforce health and safety.
