National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the U.S. federal agency responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for the prevention of work-related injury and illness. NIOSH is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

NIOSH is headquartered in Washington, D.C., with research laboratories and offices in Cincinnati, Ohio; Morgantown, West Virginia; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Denver, Colorado; Anchorage, Alaska; Spokane, Washington; and Atlanta, Georgia. NIOSH is a professionally diverse organization with a staff of 1,200 people representing a wide range of disciplines including epidemiology, medicine, industrial hygiene, safety, psychology, engineering, chemistry, and statistics.

The director of NIOSH is John Howard.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act, signed by President Richard M. Nixon, on December 29, 1970, created both NIOSH and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). NIOSH was established to help ensure safe and healthful working conditions by providing research, information, education, and training in the field of occupational safety and health. NIOSH provides national and world leadership to prevent work-related illness, injury, disability, and death by gathering information, conducting scientific research, and translating the knowledge gained into products and services.

Let's Talk About It

by: Nishay

The way you watching me
My feeling left when you grew another part of me
And I'm just saying what's really deep inside of me
The way I feel
I feel so real
Really I'm just tryna contemplate the night
Wrapped on my mind and holding me so tight
Climbing my emotions and it's shining bright
The questions I wont ask
I wont ask you
Would you respect me
Don't leave me home
Would you really admit that your mine alone
Would you answer things I wanna know
Oh boy I wanna know, don't lie about it (please don't like about it)
Would ja would ja would ja really lie to me (would you lie to me boy)
I feel connected this here must not stop (I feel connected)
If you can't talk about what's really gonna hold me up(oh)
Oh boy Lets talk about it (lets talk about it)
Would ja would ja would ja really lie to me (woulja really lie to me)
(Boy--verse 2)
It's like I don't want to change
If you knew it would you really still had feel the same
These three words "I love you" would you really change
Lets talk about it... let(skip)
Would you hurt me, desert me, do wrong to me,
Take for granted boy, baby don't encourage we, let's talk about the change
Ooh I got questions for you...
(I got questions for you)
