• Description:
  This NORA sector research program addresses the needs of wholesale and retail trade (WRT) for a safe future. This bulletin contains information about: 1. A Special Invitation: Seeking Participants for the Wholesale and Retail Trade Sector Council. The Wholesale and Retail Trade (WRT) sector leadership is inviting the recipients of the WRT Quarterly News Bulletin to participate in the WRT Council, which is part of the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA). Unveiled in 1996, NORA is a partnership program to stimulate impactful research and improved workplace practices. NIOSH is the steward of NORA, but the NORA effort goes beyond the work of NIOSH. By accepting this invitation, council members will benefit by providing input on research gaps, needs, and emerging issues; sharing their work and learning about evidence-based ways to improve WRT worker safety and health; and having opportunities to form partnerships with others keenly interested in the well-being of the WRT workers and the prevention of injuries and fatalities. 2. Wholesale and Retail Priorities and What We Do. Priority Areas: a. Reduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs); b. Reduce workplace violence; c. Prevent injuries from slips, trips, and falls; and d. Reduce motor vehicle-related injuries. [Description provided by NIOSH]
