ASSE encourages its members to respond to the NIOSH Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health request for comments on its design for research to determine whether there will
be enough occupational safety and health professionals to help protect workers from the
workplace hazards of the 21st Century. Among NIOSH's goals is to find out if OSH
professional skill-sets will match employers' needs and demands. The last federal study to
