Oregon Worker Illness and Injury Prevention Program

描述(由申请人提供)：俄勒冈州死亡评估和控制评估计划(OR-FACE)从2002年底开始，成功地实施了以州为基础的监测、调查、评估和外展的NIOSH目标，以防止未来的职业死亡。凭借两年完整的死亡数据，ORFACE团队已经在实施各种干预战略，以促进优先地区的安全。扩大的死亡监测项目允许继续开发培训材料、教育 并利用死亡监测、调查和评估的结果进行外联。该研究计划旨在反映成功的伤害监测和预防计划的关键组成部分。已经使用多机构、多学科的方法来确定该州的职业死亡情况，调查发生死亡的工作情况，分析根本原因和诱因，以及 制定并向工人、雇主、保险公司和健康与安全部门宣传预防策略 专业人士。该研究计划旨在保持与创伤性职业死亡有关的监测、调查、评估和外展方面的OR-Face活动的现有结构，同时扩大针对特定行业和职业的高风险活动的预防活动，以进行密集干预，其中可能包括培训、教育、工程控制和政策建议。扩大的死亡监测项目将作为学术研究人员、行业专家、州、地方和联邦机构以及商业、劳工、社区和专业联系人网络之间的合作努力进行。这项研究的目的是确定和描述在研究期间发生在俄勒冈州的所有与工作有关的死亡。研究期间收集的信息将被用于制定方法，通过了解与工作有关的死亡的潜在风险因素和原因来预防未来的死亡。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Oregon Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation program (OR-FACE), beginning in late 2002, has successfully implemented the NIOSH objective for state-based surveillance, investigation, assessment, and outreach in order to prevent future occupational fatalities. With 2 years of complete data on fatalities, the ORFACE team is already implementing a variety of intervention strategies to promote safety in priority areas. The expanded fatality surveillance project allows the continued development of training materials, education and outreach, using the results of fatality surveillance, investigation and assessment. The research plan is designed to reflect the key components of successful injury surveillance and prevention programs. A multi-agency, multi-disciplinary approach has been used to identify occupational fatalities in the state, to investigate work situations where fatalities occur, to analyze root and contributing causes, and to formulate and disseminate prevention strategies to workers, employers, insurers, and health & safety professionals. The research plan is designed to maintain the current structure of OR-FACE activities in surveillance, investigation, assessment, and outreach related to traumatic occupational fatalities, while expanding prevention activities that target high-risk activities in specific industries and occupations for intensive intervention which may include training, education, engineering controls, and policy recommendations. The expanded fatality surveillance project will be conducted as a collaborative effort among academic researchers, industry experts, state, local and federal agencies, and a network of business, labor, community and professional contacts. The purpose of this study is to identify and describe all work-related deaths that occur in Oregon during the study period. Information collected during the study will be used to develop methods to prevent future deaths by understanding the underlying risk factors and cause of work-related deaths.
