Protecting workers: How NIOSH cuts threaten occupational health | Rick Neitzel explains

Описание: "What if I told you that for just $2.20 per worker annually, we could prevent workplace injuries and illnesses that cost our economy $250 billion each year?" asks Rick Neitzel, professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and director of the Center for Occupational Health and Safety Engineering.

In this video, Neitzel explains how NIOSH's research has protected miners, firefighters, and healthcare workers for 50 years—and why recent budget cuts that eliminated two-thirds of its staff will have devastating consequences.

"Without this research, more Americans will suffer preventable injuries and illnesses, businesses will face higher costs, and families will lose loved ones to workplace accidents that could have been prevented."
