• Description:
  The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Services Program works to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities among the nation’s more than 68 million service workers. The services sector is highly diverse, encompassing 11 major NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) industry groups. The program works with partners in industry, labor, trade and professional associations, government, and academia to prevent and reduce the following health and safety outcomes, with examples of priority industries in parentheses:
  
  • Cardiovascular disease and adverse reproductive health outcomes (education, administration, and support)
  
  • Hazardous noise exposure and hearing loss (building services, arts/entertainment)
  
  • Immune, infectious, and dermal disease (personal care, food preparation/handling)
  
  • Musculoskeletal disorders, especially back injuries (repair/maintenance, hotels)
  
  • Respiratory disease, particularly asthma (education, building services)
  
  • Falls (waste management and remediation, restaurants)
  
  Additionally, the program focuses on improving safety and health among contingent workers and those in non-standard work arrangements (temporary agency, contract, and “gig” workers). The program also focuses on integrating protection from work-related safety and health hazards with promotion of injury and illness prevention efforts to advance worker well-being (Total Worker Health® approach).
