from unreasonable risks of injury and death from consumer products.'' 
The CPSC will work to achieve four strategic goals that will contribute 
to realizing the agency's vision and achieving its mission. CPSC's 
programs will align with the strategic goals, and staff will implement 
strategies to achieve the strategic goals. The strategic goals are:
    1. Cultivate the most effective consumer product safety workforce.
    2. Prevent hazardous products from reaching consumers.
    3. Respond quickly to address hazardous consumer products in the 
marketplace and with consumers.
    4. Communicate useful information quickly and effectively to better 
inform decisions.
    The draft 2016-2020 Strategic Plan sets out how the CPSC will 
pursue the four strategic goals. The draft Strategic Plan is available
