Upon completion of this educational activity, learners should be able to:

• Discuss the association between pre-pandemic perceptions of perceived organizational support for safety and the pandemic’s impact on individual workers and institutions.
• Outline how decreased staffing and increased workload during the pandemic were associated with lower NOSACQ scores.
• Explain how better organizational safety policies and pandemic preparedness could have improved healthcare institution’s ability to provide a safe work environment.

This activity is designed for physicians and other healthcare professionals who specialize in or have an interest in Occupational and Environmental Medicine topics.
