Washington Occupational Surveillance Program

描述(由申请人提供)：项目摘要：这一竞争性补充材料将填补华盛顿职业监测计划(WOSP)中的两个关键空白--继续和加强死亡评估和控制评估(FACE)计划，以及发展卡车运输行业的定向伤害监测。FACE方案的具体目标是：(1)维持和加强当前计划的监测系统，以识别和跟踪创伤性职业死亡事件；(2)确定可改变的风险因素，以重点开展预防活动；(3)调查NIOSH定义的三个优先领域和两个州优先领域的致命事件；(4)编写和传播预防材料；(5)编写一系列死亡和险情叙述；(6)评估开发和传播的材料；以及(7)评估Face活动对高风险行业中选定目标危险的影响。卡车运输伤害监测项目的具体目标是：(1)与卡车运输行业的管理层和劳工代表建立和保持伙伴关系；(2)按部门发布一份描述卡车运输行业内的伤害、趋势和成本的技术报告；(3)开发和实施一个监测系统来跟踪卡车运输行业的索赔情况，特别侧重于六种优先情况：被困在受伤中/受伤中/受伤之间；跌倒；被/被击中；机动车撞车；下肢肌肉骨骼疾病；为减少卡车运输中的危险和伤害，(4)制定和实施病例跟踪方案，以确定风险因素和优先条件的解决方案，(5)对雇主和雇员进行全行业调查，以确定危险和风险因素、需求和可能的解决方案，以及(6)确定利用教育材料和其他干预措施减少卡车运输中的危险和伤害的机会。相关性：本提案中概述的活动将导致将信息转化为建议和预防战略。此外，还将与能够进行干预的机构建立伙伴关系，最终目标是预防职业病和死亡率。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): PROJECT SUMMARY: This competitive supplement will fill two critical gaps in the Washington Occupational Surveillance Program (WOSP) - the continuation and enhancement of the Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program and the development of targeted injury surveillance in the trucking industry. The specific aims of the FACE program are to: (1) Maintain and enhance the current program's surveillance system to identify and track traumatic occupational fatalities, (2) Identify modifiable risk factors to focus prevention activities, (3) Investigate fatal incidents in the three NIOSH-defined priority areas and two state priority areas, (4) Develop and disseminate prevention materials, (5) Develop a series of Fatality and Near- Hit Narratives, (6) Evaluate the materials that are developed and disseminated, and (7) Assess the impact of FACE activities for selected target hazards in high-risk industries. The specific aims of the trucking injury surveillance project are to: (1) Build and maintain partnerships with representatives from both management and labor within the trucking industry, (2) publish a technical report describing injuries, trends, and costs within the trucking industry by sector, (3) Develop and implement a surveillance system to track claims in the trucking industry, with particular focus on six priority conditions: caught in/under/between injuries; falls; struck by/against injuries; motor vehicle crashes; musculoskeletal disorders of the lower extremity; and musculoskeletal disorders of the neck, back, and upper extremity, (4) Develop and implement case follow-up protocols for identifying risk factors and solutions for the priority conditions, (5) Conduct industry-wide surveys of employers and employees to identify hazards and risk factors, needs, and possible solutions, and (6) Identify opportunities for the use of educational materials and other interventions to reduce hazards and injuries within trucking. RELEVANCE: The activities outlined in this proposal will result in the translation of information into recommendations and prevention strategies. Additionally, partnerships will be fostered with those that can intervene, with the ultimate goal of preventing occupational morbidity and mortality.
