The National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) is like a plan for learning more about how to make jobs safer, healthier, and more productive. It was created by the U.S. Department of Labor to help make sure people stay healthy and safe when they are at work, and also to help businesses stay safe and produce better products. NORA works with researchers, businesses, and labor unions to set priorities for research into how job conditions affect people's health and safety, and how to make those job conditions better.
