项目摘要

This project's objectives are 1) to create a dataset that will provide the richest available source of information about the effects of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspections on injuries in manufacturing; and 2) to begin to explore it to produce new insights about the effects of inspections in different settings, the effects of general enforcement strategies, and the effects of new safety standards. We believe that our work will be immediately useful to OSHA officials, will provide a model of how they can explore these data in the future and will provide a resource to injury researchers interested in a broader range of issues. This project will create a new dataset combining inspection data from OSHA's Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) system with injury data on manufacturing plants that have been in the Bureau of Labor Statistics's Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses for at least 3 continuous years between 1992 and 1998. Because there is no common identifier in both sets, this task requires sophisticated matching techniques. Earlier studies did examine a similar dataset which looked at inspections in the 1980s. Our analyses will be more extensive and will make use of two new features: 1) the dataset now contains information on injury and demographic characteristics for cases involving days away from work; and 2) the dataset now includes all states. The dataset will be used for several purposes, including: To replicate earlier studies to see whether their general finding that OSHA inspections with penalties (but not those without penalties) led to injury reductions. To expand those analyses to consider new variables and to examine effects on different subgroups of plants. To examine the effects of citing particular violations on the prevention of particular injuries related to those violations. Tests here will improve our understanding of how OSHA achieves its effects. To examine the role of new safety standards in reducing injuries and the role of inspections in boosting that effect. To examine the effects of different enforcement strategies carried out in different states and regions. To facilitate efforts by researchers to explore some of the reasons for variations in injury rates among plants in the same industry

该项目的目标是：1）创建一个数据集，提供有关职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）检查对制造业伤害影响的最丰富的可用信息来源; 2）开始探索它，以产生有关不同环境中检查效果的新见解，一般执法策略的影响以及新安全标准的影响。我们相信，我们的工作将立即对OSHA官员有用，将为他们将来如何探索这些数据提供一个模型，并将为对更广泛问题感兴趣的伤害研究人员提供资源。该项目将创建一个新的数据集，将来自OSHA综合管理信息系统（IMIS）系统的检查数据与1992年至1998年期间至少连续3年在劳工统计局职业伤害和疾病调查中的制造工厂的伤害数据相结合。因为在两个集合中没有共同的标识符，所以这个任务需要复杂的匹配技术。早期的研究确实检查了一个类似的数据集，该数据集着眼于20世纪80年代的检查。我们的分析将更加广泛，并将利用两个新功能：1）数据集现在包含有关涉及缺勤天数的案件的伤害和人口统计特征的信息; 2）数据集现在包括所有州。该数据集将用于几个目的，包括：复制早期的研究，看看他们的一般发现，OSHA检查与处罚（但不是那些没有处罚）导致伤害减少。扩大这些分析，以考虑新的变量，并检查对不同植物亚群的影响。审查列举特定侵权行为对预防与这些侵权行为有关的特定伤害的影响。这里的测试将提高我们对OSHA如何实现其效果的理解。研究新的安全标准在减少伤害方面的作用，以及检查在提高这一效果方面的作用。研究在不同国家和地区实施的不同执法战略的效果。为了便于研究人员努力探索同一行业中植物伤害率差异的一些原因，
