Abstract
Rapid progress in understanding the human genome has made individual genetic information accessible through genetic testing. Different types of genetic testing may be encountered in the workplace. Genetic screening examines individuals for specific inherited characteristics. Genetic monitoring evaluates individuals for acquired modifications to their genetic material. A recent survey provides evidence that some employers are conducting genetic testing of their employees and using the genetic information they obtain to make employment related decisions. Occupational and environmental health nurses must be prepared to meet the challenges presented by the complex issues related to genetic information in the workplace.
