NIOSH Healthcare Personal Protective Technology Targets for 2020 to 2030

Reflecting on the nation’s experiences with infectious diseases and non-infectious hazards, NIOSH recognizes a need for more types of personal protective technology (PPT). An opportunity also exists to address existing gaps by leveraging NIOSH’s unique capabilities related to PPT research, PPT development, performance standards and test methods, and conformity assessment (CA). To address this need, in 2022 NIOSH developed the document, “Draft NIOSH Healthcare Personal Protective Technology (PPT) Targets for 2020 to 2030.” NIOSH then requested public comment of the document through a Federal Register Notice. Comments received from the public and NIOSH’s ongoing PPT research informed the current report, which details a strategic approach for addressing six broad objectives to help meet the nation’s PPT needs.
