The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Recall that OSHA is part of the Department of Labor. NIOSH has two broad functions: research and education. The main focus of the agency's research is on toxicity levels and human tolerance levels of hazardous substances. NIOSH prepares recommendations along these lines for OSHA standards dealing with hazardous substances. NIOSH studies are also published and made available to employers. Every year, NIOSH publishes updated lists of toxic materials and recommended tolerance levels. These publications represent the educational component of NIOSH's mission.
