Why ERCs...
To meet the needs of national and regional safety and health professionals, National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) developed the Educational Resource Centers in 1977. NIOSH currently funds 17 university-based Education and Research Centers (ERC).
The goal of the ERCs is to help NIOSH achieve its mandate of "providing an adequate supply of qualified personnel to carry out the purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Act" by providing education for occupational health and safety (OH&S) professionals.
