NORA Councils

Every workplace has unique issues, challenges, and opportunities. As a result, NORA uses a sector-based approach to define and meet high priority needs. The sectors include:

The sector groupings are based on the similarity of occupational health and safety concerns in their workplaces.

NORA Sector Councils develop and maintain sector-specific research agendas. In addition, a Cross-Sector Council coordinates priorities that affect multiple sectors and groups of workers. Representing all stakeholders, the councils use an open process to set goals, develop strategies, encourage partnerships, and promote improved workplace practices.
