  For 50 years CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has conducted research and made recommendations to prevent work-related injury and illness.
  
  In December 1970 President Nixon signed the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act into law. This started the process of establishing NIOSH, which officially opened its doors on April 28, 1971. Congress established NIOSH to create objective scientific research findings in the field of occupational safety and health with the mandate to assure “every man and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions and to preserve our human resources.”
