WHAT IS NIOSH?

NIOSH is the National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH) is a division of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

  • The NIOSH vision is simple: Safer, Healthier Workers.
  • It focuses on the study of worker safety creating safe and healthy workplaces.
  • It promotes training occupational safety and health (OSH) practitioners and researchers.

WHAT ARE THE NIOSH TRAINING PROJECT GRANTS (TPGs)

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 mandates that NIOSH provide an adequate supply of qualified personnel to carry out the purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. NIOSH supported Training Project Grants (TPGs) have a key role in helping meet this mandate and contribute to the Institute’s core mission of providing national and world leadership to prevent workplace illnesses and injuries.
