There are at least three major sources of injury, disease, and death statistics in the United States. One is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Another is the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). These are federal government agencies. A private source is the National Safety Council.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducts research and makes recommendations that help prevent work-related injury and illness. NIOSH, established by the OSH Act of 1970, operates under the administrative control of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Although NIOSH and OSHA were created by the same Act of Congress, they operate as distinct agencies with separate responsibilities. However, NIOSH and OSHA often work together toward the common goal of protecting worker safety and health. NIOSH publishes educational resources and guidelines on a number of healthcare- and hospital-related topics.
