SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The purpose of this strategic plan is to define and prioritize 
occupational safety and health research and prevention activities for 
NIOSH in the oil and gas exploration and production industry through 
2025. This strategic plan focuses on conducting priority research to 
prevent injuries, illnesses and fatalities to workers employed in the 
onshore, exploration and production industry. The plan's research goals 
are organized according to the four areas that make up the NIOSH Oil 
and Gas Sector Program: (1) Epidemiology and surveillance, (2) exposure 
assessment, (3) control technologies, and (4) communications. The plan 
also includes performance measures that describe specific research 
activities that will be used to guide research, measure progress, and 
evaluate the success of the NIOSH Oil and Gas Sector Program in 
improving safety and health in this high-risk industry.

Information Needs

    NIOSH is seeking public review and comment on this document from 
everyone with an interest in the health and safety of workers in the 
oil and gas extraction and production industry.
