State-Based Occupational Health & Safety Surveillance - Expanded Program/OHI

描述(申请人提供)：作为扩大项目的一部分。北卡罗来纳州将开展以人口为基础的基本职业健康监测活动(职业健康指标部分)。该项目的目标是利用现有的数据集来描述影响北卡罗来纳州工人的危险，并利用所学知识来促进预防职业伤害、疾病、死亡和接触。 该项目的目标是：评估和描述职业病和伤害； 制定促进职业健康政策的战略；建立基础设施，确保提供必要的工人保护服务。 该项目的具体目标是：收集和分析数据(职业健康指标)；汇编和传播数据；确定干预机会；保持咨询小组；加强利益相关者联系以帮助促进计划目标；评估和加强开展所需服务和预防举措的能力和资源。 OHI组成部分项目的研究设计是基于当前的公共卫生监测和 预防原则(Teutsch和Churchill，1994年)和NIOSH职业监测指南，见文件：职业安全和健康中基于国家的最低限度和综合公共卫生活动指南(CDC，2008年，http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2008-148/).工作与该机构的使命相一致：通过危害评估、监测、政策制定和提供技术指导，将有害的职业和环境暴露对北卡罗来纳州个人的影响降至最低。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As part of the Expanded project. North Carolina will conduct basic, population-based occupational health surveillance activities (Occupational Health Indicator (OHI) Component). The goal of this project is to utilize existing data sets to profile hazards affecting workers in N.C. and use what is learned to promote prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, fatalities and exposures. The objectives of the project are to: assess and describe occupational illness and injuries; establish strategies to promote occupational health policy; and, establish infrastructure to assure delivery of necessary services for worker protection. The specific aims for this project are: collect and analyze data (Occupational Health Indicators); compile and disseminate data; identify intervention opportunities; maintain an advisory group, strengthen stakeholder ties to help promote program goals, and assess and strengthen capacity and resources to carry out needed services and prevention initiatives. The research design for the OHI component project is based on current Public Health surveillance and prevention principles (Teutsch and Churchill, 1994) and NIOSH occupational surveillance guidelines found in the document: Guidelines for Minimum and Comprehensive State-Based Public Health Activities in Occupational Safety and Health (CDC, 2008, http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2008-148/). Work is aligned with the agency mission: minimize the effects of harmful occupational and environmental exposures to individuals in N. C. through hazard evaluation, surveillance, policy development, and provision of technical guidance.
