The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s “Occupational Safety and Health and Climate” page had its name changed, so as to remove the phrase “climate change,” sometime on or after Nov. 14, 2016, according to a report by the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative. The old name was “Climate Change and Occupational Safety and Health.” Multiple other removals of the phrase “climate change” occurred at or around the same time.
