Dear Emily, Congratulations!
OSH is a major concern in countries like India, especially when it is linked to the livelihoods of millions of people who work in the informal sector with little safeguards. With grossly inadequate regulation and monitoring, free and open knowledge about OSH issues on Wikipedias could have a significant intangible impact,

Dear Wikimedia Community, I am excited to announce that I am starting today as the Wikipedian-in-Residence for NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, a subsidiary of the CDC. NIOSH is a research institution dedicated to the prevention of illness and injury related to work, and they have a wealth of information just begging to be used by Wikimedia. Our missions are very much aligned, especially with WikiProject Medicine, and have the potential to create a huge impact worldwide. As Wikipedian-in-Residence, I will be helping to connect NIOSH and the WIkimedia communities, creating a WikiProject NIOSH, and helping to organize content on occupational health and use NIOSH's public domain resources to improve Wikimedia. I will not, in the foreseeable future, be editing anything about NIOSH itself or any of its scientists. Nevertheless, for full disclosure, I'll be placing a comprehensive COI notice on my user page and keeping a separate account (as many other WIR's do) at [[User:Emily Temple-Wood (NIOSH)]] on any project I'm working on. I'm very excited to work on this project and am always happy to accept feedback. You can read more about NIOSH at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Institute_for_Occupational_Safety_and_Health, and see my personal userpage at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Keilana. All the best, Emily Temple-Wood _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
