• Description:
  The National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH), in fulfillment of its mission to "develop new knowledge in the field of occupational safety and health and to transfer that knowledge into practice," works with manufacturing industries to evaluate workplace hazards and risks and to incorporate health and safety practices into its business plans. While NIOSH's efforts remain valid for standard manufacturing endeavors, emerging materials and technologies and new capabilities within existing technologies may change the way that occupational and environmental safety and health is practiced. NIOSH asked IDA's Science and Technology Policy Institute (STPI) to develop a white paper that can be used by NIOSH as an element of a strategic approach to ensure that NIOSH is prepared to identify potential worker health and safety issues associated with advanced materials and advanced manufacturing technologies. The white paper is intended to assist NIOSH in addressing issues arising from the major categories of occupational hazards-physical, chemical, biological, radiological, ergonomic, and psychosocial hazards-as they arise in advanced manufacturing settings. To that end, the STPI team constructed a definition of advanced manufacturing, tested the definition against research occurring in the Manufacturing USA Institutes, and proposed an approach for recognizing advanced manufacturing. The STPI team then developed a tool for identifying concerns in the workplace and outlined implications and considerations for advanced manufacturing settings.
