Abstract: As part of the mission to increase saftey and protect work health, NIOSH supports occupational safety and health education programs in regional Education and Research Centers and Training Project grants. Workforce assessments were conducted in 1977 and 1085, and in 2000 by the IOM. NIOSH plans another workforce assessment to collect information from employers of OS&H professionals and providers of training programs for OS&H professionals. The information will concern the current supply and future demand for OS&H professionals and desired competencies.
