In 2001, J&J introduced a health surveillance program for its employees in the US for certain hazardous jobs. The main objective of the program was to develop measures to control workplace hazards and prevent occurrence of illnesses and injuries.
Employees were asked to work in collaboration with environmental, health, safety and industrial hygiene professionals to eliminate workplace hazards. In 2001, major surveillance programs undertaken by J&J (Refer Table II) employees included:

In 2001, J&J launched a 'Health and Benefits' website that provided health and wellness information to its employees. By using an identification number and security code, employees were able to access the website from anywhere and at anytime. The site provided links to disease management programs, health and benefits information and also aggregated health information from various health content providers.
J&J also introduced an on-line Health Profile service that provided a confidential interactive health risk assessment with instant feedback. The service aimed at identifying critical health risks of employees by maintaining their health profile and encouraging them to take steps towards a healthier lifestyle using Action Planning Guides.
