NIOSH Is Back: Here's What You Need to Know
NIOSH is bringing back 600+ employees. If you use the NIOSH Pocket Guide, rely on chemical exposure data, or need training resources for your safety program, this matters.
This week Dr. Martin and James break down what NIOSH actually does: the difference between NIOSH and OSHA, the Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards, FACE reports on workplace fatalities, and the A-Z training library you're probably not using. Plus, James shares his great-grandfather's black lung story and why NIOSH research creates the evidence base for worker protections.
INSIDE THE EPISODE
⚠️ NIOSH vs OSHA: Know the difference - NIOSH conducts research and provides recommended exposure limits. OSHA handles compliance and enforcement. NIOSH is the scientist of safety.
⚠️ What NIOSH does for you - NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards, A-Z training resources (workplace violence, cold stress, cannabis, hazardous drugs), FACE reports on workplace fatalities, and respirator certification
⚠️ NIOSH research drives worker protections - From black lung pensions to Gulf War syndrome recognition to 9/11 health monitoring, long-term health studies create the evidence for worker compensation and regulatory standards
RESOURCES
NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards
NIOSH A-Z training resources
FACE Reports (Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation)
CBRN Respiratory Protection Handbook (September 2025)
