DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Work-related injuries and illnesses are a significant public health problem in Massachusetts, imposing substantial human and economic costs. Massachusetts recognizes the reduction of work-related injuries and illnesses as a public health priority and the need for state-based surveillance to promote and evaluate prevention activities at the state and local levels. Since 1986, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has worked to build the Occupational Health Surveillance Program (OHSP). OHSP has developed targeted surveillance and intervention systems for priority occupational health conditions and worker populations, carried out broad-based prevention activities based on surveillance findings, conducted surveillance research, and worked to integrate occupational health into mainstream public health practice. OHSP proposes to continue occupational health surveillance activities that are basic to an established program. The overarching goal is to reduce the incidence of occupational injuries illnesses in Massachusetts. Specific Aims are to: 1) Generate state occupational health indicators annually to track the occupational health status of the Massachusetts population; 2) Conduct more extensive analyses of existing state data sets to characterize work-related injuries and illnesses in Massachusetts; prepare and disseminate surveillance reports on a regular basis; 3) Continue a limited level of case-based surveillance of selected serious occupational health conditions that require immediate public health response to assure that hazards are controlled; 4) Continue working relationships with stakeholders to obtain input on program priorities, to increase surveillance capacity, and to promote use of surveillance findings to improve worker safety and health; 5) Collaborate with other public health programs to foster the integration of occupational health into ongoing public health activities at the state and local levels; and 6) Promote collaboration among the Northeast states to improve state capacity to conduct occupational health surveillance and prevention activities. OHSP will be guided by an advisory board of local occupational health experts and advocates.

描述（由申请人提供）：工伤和疾病是马萨诸塞州的一个重大公共卫生问题，造成了巨大的人力和经济成本。马萨诸塞州认识到减少与工作有关的伤害和疾病是公共卫生的优先事项，需要以州为基础的监测，以促进和评估州和地方各级的预防活动。自1986年以来，马萨诸塞州公共卫生部一直致力于建立职业健康监测计划（OHSP）。OHSP针对重点职业健康状况和工人群体制定了有针对性的监测和干预系统，根据监测结果开展了基础广泛的预防活动，开展了监测研究，并努力将职业健康纳入主流公共卫生实践。 OHSP建议继续开展职业健康监测活动，这些活动是既定计划的基础。总体目标是减少马萨诸塞州职业伤害疾病的发生率。具体目标是：1）每年生成州职业健康指标，以跟踪马萨诸塞州人口的职业健康状况; 2）对现有的州数据集进行更广泛的分析，以描述马萨诸塞州与工作有关的伤害和疾病;定期编写和分发监测报告; 3）继续有限的案件水平-对选定的需要立即作出公共卫生反应的严重职业健康状况进行基础监测，以确保危害得到控制; 4）继续与利益相关者建立工作关系，以获得有关计划优先事项的投入，提高监测能力，并促进利用监测结果来改善工人的安全和健康; 5）与其他公共卫生计划合作，促进职业健康纳入州和地方各级正在进行的公共卫生活动;（6）促进东北部各州之间的合作，以提高各州开展职业健康监测和预防活动的能力。OHSP将由当地职业健康专家和倡导者组成的咨询委员会指导。
