New System Development

NIOSH Industry & Occupation Computerized Coding System (NIOCCS)

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is developing a new industry and occupation computerized coding system that will be available in the Fall of 2012. This new system will have enhanced I&O coding features not currently available in the Standardized Occupation and Industry Coding (SOIC) system provided by NIOSH since 1998. For more information on the system features and status of this project see the links below or contact the project team at: NIOCCS@cdc.gov.
