WORLD TRADE CENTER WORKER AND VOLUNTEER

MEDICAL SCREENING PROGRAM

 

EXPOSURE QUESTIONNAIRE-Elevator Constructors Local 1

 

 

The World Trade Center Worker and Volunteer Medical Screening Program is a comprehensive medical evaluation program to provide FREE and CONFIDENTIAL medical examinations, referrals for medical care, and occupational health education for 8,500 workers and volunteers who provided Rescue, Recovery, Debris Removal and Sifting and Restoration of Vital Support Services at the WTC and Staten Island landfill sites.

 

The Program is directed by The Mount Sinai Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine, in partnership with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with medical examinations and related services performed by a consortium of occupational medicine providers.

 

Limited funding does not allow all exposed workers to be examined.  Currently there is an effort in Congress to obtain additional funding to increase the number of people who can receive medical screening examination.
