Description:"This updated fact sheet presents NPPTL's current research areas and staffing. The National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) is a Division of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). NPPTL prevents work-related injury, illness, and death by advancing the state of knowledge and application of personal protective technologies (PPT). NPPTL supports more than 20 million U.S. workers who rely on this equipment (e.g., respirators, clothing, gowns, gloves, eye protection and other types of protective gear) to keep them safe from on-the-job hazards. NPPTL conducts laboratory and field research, surveillance, standards development, interventions, and conformity assessment activities. This work includes the respirator approval program and post-market evaluations to increase the compliant use of PPT and improve its usability and effectiveness. NPPTL also participates in international, federal, and consensus PPT standards development activities to facilitate translating research findings and sharing staff expertise." -- NIOSHTIC-2
