DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), Bureau of Occupational Health (BOH) proposes to maintain and enhance occupational fatality and lung disease surveillance, investigate work situations high risk for injuries, fatalities and lung diseases, and formulate and disseminate prevention strategies to those who can intervene in the workplace. BOH will expand upon the existing Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (NY FACE) program to reduce the incident of work-related fatalities and injuries in NYS by increasing awareness of workplace hazards, and improving safety practices and policies among workers, employers, health and safety professionals, and equipment manufacturers. BOH will also continue to utilize the Occupational Lung Disease Registry (OLDR) to conduct surveillance for occupational lung diseases in NYS, undertake prevention efforts aimed at reducing and eliminating occupational lung diseases in NYS, and evaluate the effectiveness of these efforts. BOH has adopted a general approach to integrate the prevention activities of its programs. This approach is guided by several principles on behavior change in the health and safety literature. In order to achieve the ultimate goal of reducing the occurrence of work-related illnesses, injuries and fatalities, it is necessary to change the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of individuals within the working community. This is achieved concretely by intervening to increase awareness of workplace hazards among workers, changing workers' knowledge to prevent illnesses, injuries and fatalities, improving safety practices and compliance with safety programs, changing policies, improving safety programs and initiating engineering changes. These outcomes are represented by the goals established for the NY FACE and OLDR programs. In order to maximize the resources of BOH's programs, BOH plans to implement a decision logic model which should result in a more cost-effective program, enabling BOH to conduct more outreach while controlling costs. Several injury, fatality and lung disease incidents will be targeted each year for full site investigations. However, for a number of incidents that do not result in a full site investigation and where prevention information already exists, BOH will now utilize other information sources and partners to provide information specific to the event. This should allow BOH to reach a broader community within NYS. BOH plans to strengthen and enhance evaluation of the programs and materials as well, by determining if prevention materials and recommendations that are distributed are accepted and perceived useful by recipients, and if they result in changes in knowledge, workplace policies and behaviors.

描述（由申请人提供）：纽约州卫生部（NYSDOH）职业卫生局（BOH）建议保持和加强职业死亡和肺病监测，调查工伤、死亡和肺病高风险工作环境，并制定和传播预防策略，以帮助那些可以在工作场所进行干预的人。BOH将扩大现有的死亡评估和控制评估（NY FACE）计划，通过提高对工作场所危险的认识，改善工人、雇主、健康和安全专业人员以及设备制造商的安全实践和政策，减少纽约州与工作有关的死亡和伤害事件。卫生部还将继续利用职业性肺病登记处（OLDR）对纽约州的职业性肺病进行监测，开展旨在减少和消除纽约州职业性肺病的预防工作，并评估这些工作的有效性。卫生局采取了一种综合办法，将预防活动纳入其方案。这种方法是由健康和安全文献中关于行为改变的几个原则指导的。为了实现减少职业病、工伤和死亡的最终目标，有必要改变工作社区中个人的知识、态度和行为。具体做法是进行干预，提高工人对工作场所危险的认识，改变工人预防疾病、伤害和死亡的知识，改进安全做法和遵守安全方案，改变政策，改进安全方案和启动工程变更。这些成果体现在为NY FACE和OLDR方案确立的目标中。为了最大限度地利用BOH方案的资源，BOH计划实施一个决策逻辑模型，该模型应产生更具成本效益的方案，使BOH能够在控制成本的同时进行更多的推广。每年将针对几起受伤、死亡和肺病事件进行全面的现场调查。然而，对于一些没有进行全面现场调查并且已经存在预防信息的事件，BOH现在将利用其他信息来源和合作伙伴来提供特定于该事件的信息。这将使BOH能够接触到纽约州内更广泛的社区。卫生部计划加强和改进对方案和材料的评估，确定分发的预防材料和建议是否被接受者接受和认为有用，以及它们是否导致知识、工作场所政策和行为的变化。
