NIOSH stands for which term?

• A. National Institute of Industrial Safety and Health
• B. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• C. National Institute for Occupational and International Health
• D. National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety

Answer: (B)

The official name uses “for” to express the institute’s purpose: National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. NIOSH is a U.S. federal agency within the CDC that conducts research and issues recommendations to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses, focusing on safety and health in the workplace. The other options change key parts of the title—using “of,” or swapping “occupational” with “industrial” or “international”—which aren’t the official name. NIOSH works alongside OSHA but is a separate entity focused on research and guidance rather than enforcement.
