The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) have signed an agreement that extends their one-year formal partnership to improve safety and health conditions in U.S. workplaces for an additional three years.
NIOSH and ASSE will continue collaborative efforts to provide outreach, communication, and professional development opportunities, and to facilitate the transfer and use of effective workplace-injury prevention measures.
In 2003, more than 5,000 people died from on-the-job injuries and more than 4 million people suffered workplace injuries and illnesses, according to NIOSH.
NIOSH and ASSE both assert that it makes good business sense to protect people in the workplace, and that preventing work-related injuries and illnesses cost far less than correcting them.
