Description

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) seeks to continue and strengthen occupational safety and health (OSH) surveillance programs within states and other eligible jurisdictions. The program aims to assess workplace illnesses, injuries, exposures, and fatalities, identify high-risk workers and occupations, and establish priorities for follow-up activities including prevention and intervention programs. Funded programs are expected to develop partnerships, communicate educational materials, measure prevention effectiveness, and fill gaps in federal and national OSH surveillance data. The program supports both existing OSH surveillance capacity and the development of new capacity where it does not currently exist.
