COVID-19 Prevention Among Seafood Processors

The COVID-19 Prevention Among Seafood Processors, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a collaboration between the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the University of Texas Medical Branch. 

Research Goals 

• Understand the experiences of seafood processing workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, has the historic exploitation of workers based on class, race, language, and nativity, affected safety and health during the COVID-19 pandemic? How has the pandemic affected the health and quality of life of workers and their communities? What can be done to improve safety and health? 
• Use the research findings to improve workers’ well-being.
