NIOSH 50th Anniversary
2021 marks the 50th anniversary of NIOSH. Created by the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act of 1970, NIOSH was established as a separate and independent research program to create objective scientific research findings in the field of occupational safety and health.
NIOSH will be recognizing this important milestone through various channels throughout the year and posting links to them below.
