Texas Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance- Fundamental Program

项目总结 以州为基础的职业安全和健康监测系统对于跟踪 职业暴露、伤害和疾病，确定新出现的问题和优先事项/高风险 用于预防干预的工人人口。环境监测与毒理学 德克萨斯州卫生服务部分支机构(ESTB)要求五年 为国家职业安全和安全研究所下的扩大计划提供资金 健康(NIOSH)国家职业安全和健康监督计划。作为以下内容的一部分 增强的基本计划活动，我们将收集、分析和报告所有 目前由州和领土委员会定义的职业健康指标(OHI) 流行病学家对OHIS和其他州和国家的数据集进行详细分析。我们 还将深入开展成人血铅调查和病例跟踪活动 流行病学和监测(ABLES)。DSHS还提出了三个扩展项目-1) 急性职业性农药中毒监测与预防，2)职业性 呼吸系统疾病的监测和预防；3)加强国家职业健康教育 应急准备和响应的卫生信息学。我们将继续合作- 加强与州和联邦合作伙伴的活动，以开展预防疟疾的干预措施 受伤和疾病。改进监测、数据传播和有针对性的预防 对高风险、高度优先的职业健康问题和条件的干预将导致 降低职业死亡率和发病率，最终实现人口总体改善 健康。

PROJECT SUMMARY State-based occupational safety and health surveillance systems are essential for tracking occupational exposures, injuries and illnesses, identifying emerging issues and priority/high-risk worker populations for preventive interventions. The Environmental Surveillance and Toxicology Branch (ESTB) at Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) requests five years of funding for an Expanded Program under the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) State Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Program. As part of enhanced fundamental program activities, we will collect, analyze and report data for all currently-defined occupational health indicators (OHI) by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, conduct detailed analysis of OHIs and other state and national datasets. We will also conduct in-depth investigation and case follow-up activities for adult blood lead epidemiology and surveillance (ABLES). DSHS also proposes three expanded projects- 1) acute occupational pesticide poisoning (AOPP) surveillance and prevention, 2) occupational respiratory disease (ORD) surveillance and prevention and 3) enhancing state’s occupational health informatics for emergency preparedness and response. We will continue collaborative- enhancing activities with state and federal partners to conduct interventions for prevention of injuries and illnesses. Improved surveillance, data dissemination and targeted preventive interventions for high-risk, high-priority occupational health issues and conditions will lead to decreased occupational mortality and morbidity, eventually overall improvements in population health.
