16. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
Mission
The mission of NIOSH is to generate new knowledge in the field of occupational safety and health and to transfer that knowledge into practice for the betterment of workers.
To accomplish this mission, NIOSH conducts scientific research, develops guidance and authoritative recommendations, disseminates information, and responds to requests for workplace health hazard evaluations.

17. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
Origins
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of created both NIOSH and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
NIOSH is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Department of Health and Human Services.
Additionally, the Federal Mine Safety and Health Amendments Act of delegated additional authority to NIOSH for coal mine health research.

18. NIOSH - Locations NIOSH headquarters are in Washington, D.C. and
Atlanta, GA. With staff in
Anchorage, AK; Cincinnati, OH; Denver, CO; Morgantown, WV; Pittsburgh, PA; and Spokane, WA.
NIOSH has a staff of over 1,200 scientists from the fields of epidemiology, medicine, industrial hygiene, safety, psychology, engineering, chemistry, statistics, economics and administration.
In addition to its own research, NIOSH also serves as the major support for occupational safety and health research in academic centers in the U.S.

19. NIOSH - Office of the Director
Dr. John Howard: Director of the
NIOSH in the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services in
Washington, D.C.
He served in this capacity from July 2002 to July and was re-appointed in September 2009.
Prior, Dr. Howard served as Chief of the Division of Occupational Safety and Health in the California Department of Industrial Relations from 1991 through

20. NIOSH - Research National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA)
In 1996, NIOSH launched NORA, an innovative public- private partnership to establish priorities for occupational safety and health research both at NIOSH and throughout the country.
During its first decade, NORA advanced safety and health knowledge in 21 scientific areas by emphasizing priority-driven research.

21. NIOSH - Research National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA)
In 2006, NORA began its second decade by focusing national research on the problems of highest relevance to workers, employers and occupational safety and health practitioners.
It is NIOSH’s job to ensure that NORA research activities are relevant to the problems of today’s workplaces, conducted using the highest quality science, and having a measurable impact on improving the lives of workers.

22. NIOSH - Health Hazard Evaluations
The Health Hazard Evaluation (HHE) Program is at the frontline of NIOSH research and service.
In response to requests from workers (or their representatives), employers, and other government agencies, HHE scientists conduct workplace assessments to determine if workers are exposed to hazardous materials or harmful conditions and whether these exposures are affecting worker health.
NIOSH evaluates the workplace environment and the health of employees by reviewing records and conducting on-site environmental sampling, epidemiologic surveys, and medical testing.
