 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary/Abstract: The primary objective of this study is to utilize the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (OBWC) claim and policy data systems for surveillance and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, fatalities, and exposures to occupational hazards. The study will develop rates of Workers' Compensation (WC) claims of injury per full time equivalents (FTE) by employer size and industry sector according to the North American Industry Classification System. Data from the OBWC claim of injury and policy systems will be linked/joined with unemployment insurance (UI) data collected through the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program. The UI data will be adjusted with hours per industry data from the BLS Labor Productivity and Costs program. Considering that OBWC is the eighth largest underwriter of WC in the US, the resulting dataset will be utilized to study: 1) Injury trends in various industry sectors, sub-sectors and specific tpe of work operations that are common among various sectors; 2) Trends of musculoskeletal injuries such as back, neck, knee, and shoulder injuries and their causations such as overexertion and slips, trips and falls; 3) Injury trends in specific types of occupations and populations of workers; 4) Injury causations and costs associated with severe and fatal injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and fatalities in various industrial sectors and subsectors; 5) Occupational disease claims of injury and fatalities in specific industries and specific populations of workers such as firefighting operations and firefighters; and 6) Specific injury trends among specific populations of injured workers such as musculoskeletal disorders among older workers and traumatic types of injuries among younger workers. Considering the size of the dataset and diversity of industry sectors in Ohio, results from this study will not onl be beneficial to Ohio but also to the rest of the nation. Through its various safety programs and services, on an annual basis, OBWC is actively engaged with more than 21,000 employers. These safety services and programs include safety education and training, sponsorship of 83 safety councils throughout Ohio, an annual safety and health conference with over 6,000 participants, a drug-free safety program, an industry-specific safety program, wellness grants program, and a vibrant grants program to assist employers in implementing engineering controls to abate workplace hazards. OBWC will capitalize on these programs and services along with dedicated web-pages and publications in peer-reviewed journals and trade magazines to disseminate the results from this study to employers and workers.

 描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要/摘要：本研究的主要目的是利用俄亥俄州工人赔偿局（OBWC）的索赔和政策数据系统来监测和预防职业伤害、疾病、死亡和职业危害暴露。该研究将根据北美行业分类系统，按雇主规模和行业部门制定每全职同等人员（FTE）的工人赔偿（WC）伤害索赔率。来自OBWC的工伤索赔和政策系统的数据将与通过季度就业和工资普查（QCEW）计划收集的失业保险（UI）数据相关联/相结合。UI数据将根据BLS劳动生产率和成本计划中每个行业的小时数数据进行调整。考虑到OBWC是美国第八大WC承保商，因此数据集将用于研究：1）各行业部门、子部门和各部门常见的特定工作操作类型的伤害趋势; 2）肌肉骨骼伤害趋势，如背部、颈部、膝盖和肩部伤害及其原因，如过度用力和滑倒、绊倒和福尔斯; 3）特定类型职业和工人群体的伤害趋势; 4）与严重和致命伤害相关的伤害原因和成本，如创伤性脑损伤，截肢，以及各工业部门和分部门的死亡; 5）特定行业和特定工人群体（如消防作业和消防员）的伤害和死亡的职业病索赔;及6）特定受伤工人群体的特定受伤趋势，例如年长工人的肌肉骨骼疾病及年轻工人的创伤类型。考虑到数据集的规模和俄亥俄州工业部门的多样性，这项研究的结果不仅对俄亥俄州有利，而且对全国其他地区也有利。通过其各种安全方案和服务，OBWC每年都与21，000多名雇主积极合作。这些安全服务和计划包括安全教育和培训，在整个俄亥俄州的83个安全委员会的赞助，每年的安全和健康会议有超过6,000名参与者，无毒品安全计划，行业特定的安全计划，健康赠款计划，以及一个充满活力的赠款计划，以帮助雇主实施工程控制，以减少工作场所的危险。OBWC将利用这些项目和服务，沿着专门的网页和同行评审期刊和行业杂志上的出版物，向雇主和工人传播这项研究的结果。
