Background/History of the Laboratory:
The National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) was established to promote safe working
conditions by providing research, information, education, and training in the field of occupational
safety and health.
NIOSH provides national and world leadership to prevent work-related illness, injury, disability, and
death by
gathering and conducting scientific research, then translating this knowledge into products and services.
NIOSH
professionals are experts in a wide range of disciplines, including epidemiology, medicine, industrial
hygiene,
safety, psychology, engineering, chemistry, and statistics. NIOSH's technologies vary from discovery
and early
stage inventions to commercially-ready products. There are hundreds of partnering opportunities available
to
domestic and international corporations through the CRADA process.
Mission of the Laboratory:
NIOSH objectives include: conduct research
to reduce work-related illnesses and injuries; promote safe and
healthy workplaces through interventions, recommendations and capacity building; and enhance global
workplace
safety and health through international collaborations.
