THE PRESIDENTIAL POWER INITIATIVE: PROTECTING OUR
WORKERS AND ENSURING REEMPLOYMENT
Memorandum of President of the United States, July
19, 2010, 75 F.R. 43029, provided:
Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Depart-
ments and Agencies
Each year Federal civilian employees are injured or
fall ill on the job in significant numbers. Although the
Federal Government has made progress in reducing
workplace injuries and illnesses in recent years, its
workers (excluding those employed by the U.S. Postal
Service) still filed more than 79,000 new claims and re-
ceived over $1.6 billion in workers’ compensation pay-
ments in fiscal year 2009. Many of these work-related
injuries and illnesses are preventable, and executive de-
partments and agencies can and should do even more to
improve workplace safety and health, reduce the finan-
cial burden of injury on taxpayers, and relieve unneces-
sary suffering by workers and their families.
Therefore, I am establishing a 4-year Protecting Our
Workers and Ensuring Reemployment (POWER) Initia-
tive, covering fiscal years 2011 through 2014. The
POWER Initiative
