The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has played a critical role in ensuring workplace safety for over 50 years. It conducts essential research on the health impacts of toxic exposures across various industries. Currently, NIOSH employees like epidemiologist Scott Laney face job termination due to budget cuts proposed by the Department of Occupational Guidance. This situation has led to wider concerns about the future of public health and safety services, as staff express disappointment over the perceived lack of appreciation for their contributions.
"For more than half a century, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has worked to improve workplace safety and study the effects of exposure to toxins."
"A lot of us wanted to work in these jobs because we wanted a job in public service... they're saying 'you're done. Get a real job.'"
