What are the health hazard in industries - which industries?? Chrissy385 16:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Same page?

National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health looks like the exact same page aside from "of" instead of "for." If anyone can confirm this, I think the one I linked should be removed.

You are correct. The link you provided appears to be a duplicate article under a slightly different (and incorrect) name. MoodyGroove 15:57, 14 July 2007 (UTC)MoodyGroove

The correct name is "The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health." The other website should be removed. Vveridian (talk) 20:45, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

How is I/O psychology relevant?

RandyKitty. Why do you think I/O psychology is relevant to the NIOSH article? Psyc12 (talk) 16:31, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

• I've already explained to you what "see also" is for elsewhere, please read that first. --Randykitty (talk) 16:32, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

I did read it. I just don't see how I/O is related, but maybe there's something I am not seeing. That's why I'm asking. Psyc12 (talk) 16:35, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

How is "the scientific study of human behavior in the workplace" not related to occupational safety????? --Randykitty (talk) 16:39, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Proposed edit

Hi, I'm proposing a small edit here since I have an obvious COI with the organization. "NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods contains recommendations for collecting air samples." is not quite accurate and should be something like "NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods contains recommendations for collecting and analyzing industrial hygiene samples, including air filters, biological fluids, wipes and bulks for occupationally relevant analytes.", since the manual covers more than just air samples. Thanks in advance for feedback! Emily Temple-Wood (NIOSH) (talk) 16:52, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable to me, but do you have a reference so it can be fully cited? -- Fuzheado | Talk 16:56, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

@Fuzheado: I do, here you go! Thanks again, Emily Temple-Wood (NIOSH) (talk) 17:01, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Edit request

I made a table of NIOSH's divisions and their locations and functions. It's straightforward factual information (and within the bounds of WP:SELFPUB), but since I'm a paid Wikipedian-in-Residence I'd like another editor to take a look at it first. Thanks. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 00:42, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Requested addition of history section

I request adding the history section in User:John P. Sadowski (NIOSH)/sandbox#History to this article. It mainly contains factual information about organizational history and facilities, and is primarily based on non-NIOSH sources. I am happy to make edits to the draft text based on the reviewer's feedback. Thanks! John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 02:16, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for writing this! I've read through Request_edit/Instructions and could not find any obvious copyright infringements, it appears to be well sourced and not controversial. I've never reviewed such requests before and am hesitant to mark this with {{edit COI|A}} myself, but if nobody objects in the next days I'll do just that or you can do it yourself, I guess? -- Evilninja (talk) 05:09, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

@Evilninja: Thanks for the review! Usually either you can make the edit yourself, or you can approve me to make it. Let me know which you'd like to do. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 05:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

I've added the content from your page, thanks again for writing this. I'm not sure what to make of the Other history section, maybe it's more fitting for a Trivia section. -- Evilninja (talk) 05:58, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
