The purpose of this document is to consolidate the diverse literature and opinions on genetics in the workplace, to flag important issues, and to provide some considerations for current and future research and practice. Recent advances in understanding the human genome have created opportunities for disease prevention and treatment. Even though the focus of attention on applications of genetic discoveries has been largely outside of the workplace, genetic information and genetic testing are impacting today's workplace. The issues related to genetic information and genetic testing in the workplace have the potential to affect every worker in the United States. This NIOSH document provides a discussion on the benefits, limitations, and risks of genetic information and genetic tests. Anecdotal evidence already exists of employers inappropriately using genetics tests. Although genetic technology is becoming widely available, a serious knowledge gap on the part of consumers of this technology is a concern. Basic information on genetics, genetic research, genetic testing, genetic information, informed consent, privacy, confidentiality, technological advances based on genetics, notification, data management, and discrimination need to be discussed. The passage of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 has abated some concerns about the misuse of genetic information. This NIOSH document provides information on these issues to help the reader be made more aware of the multitude of scientific, legal, and ethical issues with regard to the use of genetics in occupational safety and health research and practice. This document has been written to appeal to both targeted and broad audiences. Occupational safety and health professionals and practitioners interested in the use of genetic information in the workplace will be most informed by the chapters on the role of genetic information in the workplace, health records, genetic monitoring, genetic screening, and the ethical, social, and legal implications of this information. Academics and researchers will be especially interested in the chapter on incorporating genetics into occupational health research. Employers, workers, and other lay readers will likely find the chapters on health records and ethical, social, and legal implications of genetic information in the workplace provide the most information. Regardless of specific reader interest levels, the goal of this document is to draw attention to the many gaps in knowledge about the use of genetic information and to stimulate dialogue on its use in the workplace.

Major technological advances in the last few decades have increased our knowledge of the role that genetics plays in occupational diseases. Our understanding of genetic changes that are acquired during a lifetime as a result of exposures and the interaction between genes and environmental factors have been studied. However, the use of genetic information in occupational safety and health research and practice presents both potential benefits and concerns and raises medical, ethical, legal and social issues. Combined with knowledge of other factors that contribute to occupational morbidity and mortality, genetic information will play an increasing role in preventing occupational disease. Genetic information includes many different types of information. For example, it may include information on acquired genetic effects such as a change in a person's genetic material (e.g., mutations in DNA, RNA, etc.) which occurred as a result of exposure to a harmful agent. It could also indicate inherited characteristics, such as genes that interact with environmental agents to increase or decrease the risk of disease. Genetic tests are not the only source of genetic information in the workplace. Genetic information may be found in workers' personnel and workplace health records or reports of family history of diseases with known strong genetic etiologies, and results from physical examinations and common laboratory tests. This type of medical information is reported routinely by workers and obtained by employers from workers' job applications, health questionnaires, health and life insurance applications, physicals, and workers' compensation proceedings.

Major technological advances in the last few years have increased our knowledge of the role that genetics has in occupational diseases and our understanding of genetic components and the interaction between genetics and environmental factors. The use of genetic information, along with all of the other factors that contribute to occupational morbidity and mortality, will play an increasing role in preventing occupational disease. However, the use of genetic information in occupational safety and health research and practice presents both promise and concerns. This book examines the diverse literature and opinions on genetics in the workplace, to highlight important issues, and to provide some considerations for current and future practice.
