Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health David Michael has tasked the National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health (NACOSH) with exploring how OSHA and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) might encourage more professionals to enter the occupational safety and health field.
Michaels’ comments mark the first time OSHA has directed NACOSH, a congressionally established advisory body to OSHA and NIOSH, to examine the issue. He made the comments at NACOSH’s bi-annual meeting this week in Washington, D.C.
