New NIOSH Blog

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) introduced a new NIOSH Science Blog on Nov. 5, 2007, to further communicate the scientific issues related to NIOSH's research and recommendations, and to stimulate discussion on those issues.

The blog or web log at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/blog/ is intended as a new way to help NIOSH fulfill its mission of translating research into practice for preventing work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths. It is designed to provide an expeditious system for partners and stakeholders to present ideas to NIOSH scientists and each other, while engaging in robust scientific discussion with the goal of protecting workers.
