  • Description:
    The National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) is a partnership program to stimulate innovative research and workplace interventions. In combination with other initiatives, the products of this program are expected to reduce the occurrence of injuries and illnesses at work. Unveiled in 1996, NORA has become a research framework for the Nation and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Diverse parties collaborate to identify the most critical issues in workplace safety and health and develop research objectives for addressing those needs.

    NORA enters is third decade in 2016 with an enhanced structure. The ten sectors formed for the second decade continue to prioritize occupational safety and health research by major areas of the U.S. economy. In addition, there are seven cross-sectors organized according the major health and safety issues affecting the U.S. working population. While NIOSH is serving as the steward to move this effort forward, it is truly a national effort. NORA is carried out through multi-stakeholder councils, which are developing and implementing research agendas for the occupational safety and health community over the decade (2016-2026). Councils address objectives through information exchange, partnership building, and enhanced dissemination and implementation of evidence-based solutions.

    NORA groups industries into ten sectors using North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. The Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing (AgFF) Sector encompasses the NAICS code groupings 111 through 115. Activities of this sector include growing crops, raising animals, harvesting timber, and harvesting fish and other animals from farms, ranches, or natural habitats (Executive Office of the President OMB, 2007).The NORA AgFF Sector Council made the decision to also include seafood processing (NAICS code 311710), which generally occurs on board commercial fishing vessels. The AgFF sector does not include wildland fire fighting, which is part of the NORA Public Safety sector.
