Industry and Occupation Coding

Training and Consultation Services

Training

NIOSH offers a free 2-day training class for coding industry and occupation (I&O) data. The class provides instruction on coding to the CDC/Census I&O classification system including how to use the NIOSH Industry & Occupation Computerized Coding System (NIOCCS).

If you are interested in information about upcoming classes, please email our NIOCCS Support Team at NIOCCS@CDC.gov.

If attending a training class is not possible, we recommend you review the instruction manuals for Census coding schemes, which were developed for the I&O training class and can be used as a guide for determining industry and occupation codes when using the NIOCCS computer-assisted feature.
