Which organization identifies ten sectors including Agri, Construction, Healthcare, and Manufacturing?

• A. NORA
• B. OSHA
• C. NIOSH
• D. EPA

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is which organization creates a sector-focused framework for occupational safety research. The ten sectors, including Agri, Construction, Healthcare, and Manufacturing, come from the National Occupational Research Agenda, or NORA. NORA is an initiative led by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to steer research priorities and collaborations across different industry sectors. It isn’t a regulatory or environmental agency; it’s the planning framework that organizes work into sectors to target prevention efforts and reduce work-related injuries and illnesses. Among the options, the organization most closely associated with producing and promoting that sector framework is NORA (through NIOSH). The EPA focuses on environmental protection, not on identifying occupational sectors for safety research.
