emeritrixNational Nurses United Petition to save NIOSH:
Millions of Workers’ Lives are in Danger – Speak Up Now!
The current administration has effectively shut down a small but critical federal agency that helps protect the lives of millions of workers across the country.
NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, has been a lifeline for workers for more than 50 years. Among many other vital services, NIOSH inspects and certifies respirators like N95s and other personal protective equipment that has saved the lives of countless frontline health care workers – especially at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Nurses continue to rely on this expertise to protect us and our patients from infectious diseases every day.
These cuts are extremely dangerous. Without these workplace safety protections, the lives of health care workers and all workers who rely on respiratory protections are at risk.
Join nurses in demanding Congress and the current administration protect workers and our communities by reinstating NIOSH. Sign our petition now:
