Margaret M. Quinn, ScD, CIH is Professor Emeritus in the College of Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and is nationally board certified in the comprehensive practice of occupational hygiene (CIH). She is the Principal Investigator of the Safe Home Care Project, funded for nearly 20 years by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)/ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The mission of the Safe Home Care Project is to protect and promote the health, safety, and well-being of the home care workforce. The Safe Home Care Project accomplishes its mission by collaborating with home care businesses, labor, direct care workers, professional associations, elder and disability community advocacy groups, and government agencies to conduct research and develop practice guidance the improves home care work. The Safe Home Care team approach is that the safety of home care workers and those they care for are closely linked and that a robust home care workforce is needed so that our rapidly aging population can age in place, in our homes, in our communities.
