Description:This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the 15th year of the Wholesale and Retail Trade (WRT) Sector Program. The WRT sector is one of the largest employers in today’s workforce employing nearly 19 million people in 2020. [1] Historically, the businesses within this sector have traditionally functioned as brick-and-mortar workplaces. Customers come to these facilities to view, purchase items, and interact with employees. WRT workers are potentially exposed to an assortment of occupational hazards including psychosocial factors (such as stress from lack of job security and frequent interaction with the public), long workdays, shift work, violence, materials handling, static posture, prolonged standing, repetitive motion, new and emerging technologies, and heavy lifting. In addition, the ages for workers within this sector range from young to an aging workforce.
