 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of this project is to collect, analyze, and share data related to occupational health and safety in Texas in order to reduce high-priority occupational fatalities, injuries, disease, and exposures within Texas and throughout the nation. A long-term objective is to participate in the establishment of a comprehensive, nationwide system of state-based occupational injury and illness surveillance. Texas is one of the largest states, both geographically and demographically, and has a unique mix of urban and rural populations, making it an important component in the development of a nationwide system. This project focuses on the 21 current occupational health indicators (OHIs) - as identified by the Council for State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE). However, the program will also seek out data sources not available from national occupational safety and health surveillance systems in order to fill data gaps and identify additional work environments and occupations that are at high risk for disease or injury. The focus of this project will be working with occupational health stakeholders to determine priority conditions for the state. With their input, the program will examine and share data as well as publish an annual progress report, which describes the accomplishments and impact of its surveillance. The program will also focus on the priority condition of work-related pesticide and disinfectant exposures. The aims here are to maintain and enhance current follow-up and investigation procedures for reported exposures, identify high-risk populations, develop new protocols and educational materials for workplace intervention, and provide training presentations and educational materials at industry and trade group meetings. To increase case ascertainment, the program will renew its reporting ties with the Texas Department of Insurance and develop new agreements for reporting workers' compensation claims for occupational pesticide exposures. It will also continue to collaborate with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and other states to identify targeted occupations, associated risk factors and to develop prevention strategies accordingly. In addition, reporting relationships will be enhanced with key community partners in underserved populations and at-risk communities.

 该项目的主要目标是收集，分析和共享与德克萨斯州职业健康和安全相关的数据，以减少德克萨斯州和全国范围内的高优先级职业死亡，伤害，疾病和暴露。一个长期目标是参与建立一个全面的、全国性的、以国家为基础的职业伤害和疾病监测系统。德克萨斯州是地理和人口最大的州之一，拥有独特的城市和农村人口，使其成为全国性系统发展的重要组成部分。该项目的重点是21个现行职业健康指标----由州和地区流行病学家理事会确定。然而，该计划还将寻找国家职业安全和健康监测系统无法提供的数据来源，以填补数据空白，并确定其他工作环境和职业的高风险疾病或伤害。该项目的重点将是与职业 卫生利益攸关方确定国家的优先条件。在他们的投入下，该计划将检查和共享数据，并发布年度进展报告，描述其监督的成就和影响。该方案还将重点关注与工作有关的农药和消毒剂接触的优先条件。这方面的目标是维持和加强目前对所报告的接触的后续行动和调查程序，查明高风险人群，为工作场所的干预制定新的议定书和教材，并在工业和贸易集团会议上提供培训介绍和教材。为了增加案件的确定，该计划将更新其报告与得克萨斯州保险部的联系，并制定新的协议，报告工人的赔偿要求的职业农药暴露。它还将继续与国家职业安全与健康研究所和其他州合作，确定目标职业、相关风险因素，并相应制定预防战略。此外，将加强与服务不足人口和风险社区的主要社区伙伴的报告关系。
