This contract will help the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Western States Division-Denver (WSD) to accomplish the goal of reducing occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities among oil and gas extraction workers.

The contractor will assist the WSD industrial hygiene team in assessing occupational exposures in the oil and gas exploration and production industry, evaluating existing controls, and developing proposed controls; responding to industry requests for information; developing relationships with oil and gas industry partners; identifying and developing new opportunities for site visits; and other duties as outlined in the Statement of Work.
