The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Engineering Controls Program seeks to protect workers by removing hazardous conditions or by placing a barrier between the worker and the hazard. The program works with partners in industry, labor, trade associations, professional organizations, and academia on these areas:

  • Reducing silica exposure at U.S. highway construction sites using engineering controls.
  • Reducing global asphalt fume exposure using engineering controls.
  • Protecting flavorings workers from exposure to Diacetyl and 2,3-Pentanedione.
