• Description:
  ext week marks the 20th anniversary of the opening of the L building in Morgantown, West Virginia, an addition to the existing facility which was dedicated in 1971. This state-of-the-art National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) facility represents a commitment to occupational safety and health. The creation of the new building created over 200 new jobs in 1996. Today, approximately 520 NIOSH employees work in both the original and new facility, conducting research on the leading edge of science that makes American workplaces safer. A few examples of the exciting work generated by the new building over that last 20 years to improve the safety and health of workers follow.
  
  The new building facilitated the creation of the Health Effects Laboratory Division (HELD), the NIOSH strategic leader in conducting integrated laboratory research into mechanisms of occupational disease and injury.
