Question

Choose three organizations that you believe have had the greatest impact on the current state of safety and health programs in the United States. Summarize the purpose of each organization, and discuss how you believe you can use these organizations to improve your ability to perform your duties as a safety and health professional.

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The three organizations would be OSHA, NIOSH, and NACOSH.

OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It tries to ensure that the workers labor under the proper safety and health conditions in their workplace.

NIOSH stands for the National Instituto for Occupational Safety and Health. This organization basically is dedicated to researching to know the working conditions of workers in America and make recommendations.

NACOSH stands for the National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health. It functions as an adviser or counselor to the Department of Labor on safety and security issues.

These three can definitely be used to improve my ability to perform my duties as a safety and health professional in that they include a series of recommendations, programs, and educational tips to be applied in the workplace and diminish the possibility of accidents or how to react in case of one.
