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.
•
•
The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH)
Origins
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970
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 1977 delegated additional
authority to NIOSH for coal mine health research.
•
•

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.
•
•
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 2008
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
2002.

NIOSH - Research
National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA)
In 1996, NIOSH launched NORA, an innovative publicprivate 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.
•
•
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.
•
•
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.
