Over one million firefighters and an additional 500,000 Emergency Medical Technicians and other first responders are engaged in emergency medical service (EMS) operations. NIOSH research has led to revised standards for personal protective equipment for EMS workers and, in turn, the development of new equipment and products providing a level of protection not previously available to the nation’s EMS responders.

has been updated - Topic: Preventing Death and Injury in Tractor Overturns with Roll-Over Protective Structures

Tractor overturns are the leading cause of occupational agricultural deaths in the United States. NIOSH estimates that Roll-Over Protective Structures (ROPS) could reduce fatality rates due to tractor overturns by a minimum of 71% if all tractors in the U.S. were equipped with ROPS. Current data shows that less than 60% of farm tractors used in the U.S. are equipped with ROPS. Read more about how NIOSH and others are working to increase ROPS use on the NIOSH Science Blog http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/blog/.
