DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) is to promote and protect the health of lowans. By establishing a surveillance system to monitor occupational illnesses and injuries in Iowa and by continuing the current surveillance system for the priority health condition of work-related fatal injuries, IDPH will be able to deliver effective prevention and education programs to Iowa's workforce. For the fundamental program, IDPH will collaborate with key stakeholders in academia, business, agriculture, and healthcare to establish the surveillance system. Initially, the system will be comprised of 15 indicators. Thirteen indicators are those required by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and consistent with past recipients of NIOSH funding to allow for comparison of Iowa to other states. The other two indicators to be included in the system are occupational exposure to anhydrous ammonia and commodity-production related agricultural injuries. Both relate to the prominence of the agricultural industry in Iowa. It is anticipated that Iowa will monitor additional indicators specific to the Iowa workforce in years two to five of the project period. Information gathered from surveillance activities will be published annually and made available on the IDPH website. IDPH is committed to improving the health of all lowans through the delivery of the core functions and essential services of public health. To promote and protect the health of lowans, IDPH needs data to make informed decisions and prioritize need. The goal of the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) in developing and implementing a fundamental program to conduct occupational safety and health surveillance in Iowa is to improve the health of Iowa's workers by preventing occupational injuries and illnesses in Iowa. The goal for the priority health condition of work-related fatal injuries is to reduce the number of traumatic occupational fatalities in Iowa and the nation by establishing a fatal occupational injury surveillance system, conducting on-site investigations of the fatal incidents, identifying risk factors for such injuries, developing prevention strategies, and disseminating the results of these efforts. The program will achieve this goal through well-balanced surveillance and research activities and an information dissemination program. The Office of the State Medical Examiner at the Iowa Department of Public Health and the University of Iowa Injury Prevention Research Center will use their institutional strengths in forensic investigations, occupational medicine, epidemiology, industrial hygiene, agricultural engineering, and public health to identify strategies to prevent fatal injuries in the workplace.

描述（由申请人提供）：爱荷华州公共卫生部 (IDPH) 的使命是促进和保护洛恩人的健康。 通过建立一个监测系统来监测爱荷华州的职业病和伤害，并继续现有的针对与工作有关的致命伤害的优先健康状况的监测系统，伊利诺伊州公共卫生部将能够向爱荷华州的劳动力提供有效的预防和教育计划。对于基本计划，伊利诺伊州公共卫生局将与学术界、商业、农业和医疗保健领域的主要利益相关者合作建立监测系统。最初，该系统将由 15 个指标组成。十三个指标是国家职业安全与健康研究所 (NIOSH) 要求的指标，并且与过去接受 NIOSH 资助的指标一致，以便将爱荷华州与其他州进行比较。该系统中包含的另外两个指标是无水氨的职业暴露和与商品生产相关的农业伤害。两者都与爱荷华州农业的突出地位有关。预计爱荷华州将在项目期间的第二年至五年内监测针对爱荷华州劳动力的其他指标。从监视活动中收集的信息将每年发布并在伊利诺伊州公共卫生局网站上提供。伊利诺伊州公共卫生局致力于通过提供公共卫生的核心职能和基本服务来改善所有低收入人群的健康。为了促进和保护洛万人的健康，伊利诺伊州公共卫生局需要数据来做出明智的决策并确定需求的优先顺序。爱荷华州公共卫生部 (IDPH) 制定和实施一项在爱荷华州进行职业安全和健康监测的基本计划的目标是通过预防爱荷华州的职业伤害和疾病来改善爱荷华州工人的健康。工伤致命伤害优先健康状况的目标是通过建立致命工伤监测系统、对致命事件进行现场调查、识别此类伤害的风险因素、制定预防策略和传播这些努力的结果，减少爱荷华州和全国的创伤性职业死亡人数。该计划将通过均衡的监测和研究活动以及信息传播计划来实现这一目标。爱荷华州公共卫生部国家法医办公室和爱荷华大学伤害预防研究中心将利用其在法医调查、职业医学、流行病学、工业卫生、农业工程和公共卫生方面的机构优势，制定预防工作场所致命伤害的策略。
