National Occupational Injury Research Symposium (NOIRS)

The National Occupational Injury Research Symposium (NOIRS), which brings together occupational injury researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their findings, methods, and practices, is the only meeting of its kind conducted in the United States.

The first NOIRS was held in October 1997 in Morgantown, West Virginia. NOIRS 2000 convened in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in October 2000. The third symposium (NOIRS 2003) was held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 28-30, 2003.
