NIOSH stands for which organization?

• A. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• B. National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
• C. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Hygiene
• D. National Bureau of Occupational Safety and Health

Answer: (A)

The exact name is National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, a U.S. federal agency under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services. The key is the word “for,” which shows the agency’s purpose of promoting safety and health for workers. The other options change wording in ways that aren’t the official name: using “of” instead of “for,” substituting “Hygiene” for “Health,” or calling it a Bureau instead of an Institute. This is why the correct form matches the real organization.
