 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of the Iowa Occupational Health & Safety Surveillance Program (OHSSP) is to promote and protect the health and safety of Iowa workers. Iowa has a current labor force of over 1.7 million workers, including roughly 110,000 agricultural workers. OHSSP work is significant because occupational health indicators show Iowa workers have a higher than average risk of mortality and morbidity in a number of areas when compared to national averages. The fatality rate for Iowa workers is 1.7 times the national average and increasing. Fatal injuries in agriculture and construction account for 30% and 16% of the total occupational fatalities in Iowa, while workers in these sectors comprise only 6% and 4%, respectively, of the Iowa workforce. In 2010, 11% of Iowa workers worked in industries at high risk for occupational morbidity compared to 7% forthe USA, and 20% of Iowa workers were employed in occupations (USA 15%) and 14% in industries (USA 12%) with a high risk of occupational mortality. Iowa consistently has a high rate of workers with elevated blood lead levels and pesticide-associated poisonings. Aims of the Iowa OHSSP are to: a) conduct surveillance to track and trend selected occupational health indicators, illnesses, and injuries in the state; b) conduct specific project surveillance and case investigations utilizing NIOSH and state protocols and priorities; and c) disseminate technical and lay findings and recommendations through targeted outreach to workers, employers, safety and health professionals, policy makers, and the public. Specific Iowa OHSSP initiatives proposed include an Occupational Health Indicator project with multiple subprojects of national and state importance, Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES), Pesticides Illness and Injury Surveillance (SENSOR Pesticides), and Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) surveillance. Innovative features include utilizing extensive collaboration between internal and external programs and-projects working on common issues to gain synergistic impact from resources while avoiding duplication. Our multi-disciplinary team of workers and researchers and robust network of partnering programs help ensure successful surveillance and dissemination efforts.

 描述(由申请人提供)：爱荷华州职业健康与安全监督计划(OHSSP)的长期目标是促进和保护爱荷华州工人的健康和安全。爱荷华州目前有超过170万工人，其中包括大约11万农业工人。OHSSP的工作意义重大，因为职业健康指标显示，与全国平均水平相比，爱荷华州工人在一些领域的死亡和发病风险高于平均水平。爱荷华州工人的死亡率是全国平均水平的1.7倍，而且还在上升。农业和建筑业的致命伤害分别占爱荷华州职业死亡总数的30%和16%，而这两个行业的工人分别只占爱荷华州劳动力的6%和4%。2010年，爱荷华州11%的工人在职业病高风险行业工作，而美国为7%，20%的爱荷华州工人受雇于职业死亡率高的行业(美国15%)和14%(美国12%)。爱荷华州血铅水平升高和农药中毒的工人比例一直很高。爱荷华州职业健康和健康计划的目标是：a)进行监测，以跟踪和跟踪选定的职业健康指标、疾病和伤害 (B)利用NIOSH以及国家方案和优先事项进行具体的项目监督和案件调查；以及(C)通过有针对性地向工人、雇主、安全和健康专业人员、政策制定者和公众进行外联，传播技术和制定结论和建议。建议的具体爱荷华州职业健康指标项目包括职业健康指标项目，该项目有多个具有国家和州重要性的子项目，成人血铅流行病学和监测(ABLES)，农药疾病和伤害监测(传感器农药)，以及死亡率评估和控制评估(FACE)监测。创新特征包括利用内部和外部计划和项目之间的广泛合作，致力于共同的问题，以从资源中获得协同影响，同时避免重复。我们由工作人员和研究人员组成的多学科团队以及强大的合作计划网络有助于确保成功的监测和传播工作。
