Get Involved with NIOSH Programs

Dawn Castillo, Director of the Division of Safety Research at NIOSH, tells ASSE members how to get more involved with NIOSH and its programs: “NIOSH truly values stakeholder engagement and input, and routinely provides opportunities for interested parties to provide their input. Examples are NIOSH science blogs that invite comments on hot topics and emerging issues, and public dockets that seek document review and programmatic input. The NIOSH home Webpage includes links to the blog and docket, as well as links to NIOSH social media sites that include Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, Twitter and YouTube. My recommendation to ASSE members who would like to stay abreast of NIOSH work and products, and opportunities to be involved with NIOSH, is to subscribe to NIOSH’s monthly electronic newsletter, eNews.” Castillo adds that she plans on working more systematically with ASSE leadership to ensure that members are aware of new and useful safety publications and guidance.
