NIOSH is the only part of the U.S. federal government whose mission includes preventing crashes and resulting injuries for all workers, not just a specific worker group. CMVS research prioritizes the following workers: 1. Truck drivers 2. Drivers in other high-risk jobs (EMS, law enforcement, oil and gas extraction) 3. Light-vehicle drivers (real estate, sales, health care)" - NIOSHTIC-2
