North Carolina Occupational Health and Safety Surveillance Program

 描述（由申请人提供）：北卡罗来纳州基本+州职业健康和安全监测计划的总体目标是通过更详细地描述职业健康风险，并在合作伙伴的帮助下利用所学到的知识战略性地制定有针对性的干预措施和其他影响已确定优先研究领域的预防策略，从而加强北卡罗来纳州对工伤的基于人群的监测。这些活动将增强我们描述职业健康风险的能力，并为影响工作场所健康和安全的具体努力提供信息，并减少工人的伤害和死亡。该项目的目的是：通过收集和分析来评估健康风险 职业病和伤害数据；通过发展伙伴关系促进职业健康政策和方案；并通过干预和预防策略确保对劳动力的保护。该项目的目标是： 使用与已确定的优先研究领域相关的现有数据集和基于案例的数据，定期收集和分析职业伤害和疾病数据；确定需要进一步调查的趋势和研究重点领域；使用替代数据源来研究研究重点领域并帮助识别伤害风险因素；制定报告并传播调查结果；维持并继续发展忠诚的州内合作者网络；与外部国家合作伙伴合作，促进区域合作并帮助建立基于国家的监控能力；实施以数据驱动的干预措施，重点关注高风险群体和状况（包括国家确定的优先领域）；组建一支由内部职业安全与健康专业人员组成的综合团队，提供调查和外展服务；通过评估旨在降低工作场所风险的监管计划的有效性，促进国家法规的执行。该项目的研究设计基于当前的美国国家职业安全与健康研究所 (NIOSH) 综合监测指南和公共卫生预防原则。该计划与该机构的使命相一致：识别和评估职业和环境健康问题，并提供公正的基于证据的建议，以减少或预防有害暴露及其后果的发生率和严重程度。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of North Carolina Fundamental-Plus State Occupational Health and Safety Surveillance Program is to enhance population-based surveillance of work-related injury in North Carolina, by describing occupational risks to health i more detail, and using what is learned to strategically develop targeted interventions and other prevention strategies impacting identified priority research areas with the help of partners. These activities will enhance our ability to describe occupational risks to health, and inform specific efforts to impact health and safety in the workplace, and reduce injury and death among workers. The aims of this project are to: assess health risk through the collection and analysis of occupational illness and Injury data; promote occupational health policy and programs through development of partnerships; and assure the protection of the workforce through intervention and prevention strategies. The objectives of this project are to: routinely collect and analyze occupational injury and illness data using existing data sets and case-based data related to identified priority research areas; identify trends and research focus areas needing further investigation; use alternative data sources to study research focus areas and help identify injury risk factors; develop reports and disseminate findings; maintain and continue to develop a committed network of in-state collaborators; engage with outside state partners to promote regional collaboration and help build state based surveillance capacity; implement data-driven interventions that focus on high risk groups and conditions (including state-identified priority areas); assemble an integrated team of in-house occupational safety and health professionals to provide investigation and outreach services; and promote enforcement of state regulations by evaluating the effectiveness of regulatory programs designed to reduce workplace risks. Research design for this project is based on current National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) comprehensive surveillance guidelines and public health prevention principles. Program is aligned with the agency mission: to identify and evaluate occupational and environmental health concerns and provide unbiased evidence-based recommendations to reduce or prevent the incidence and severity of harmful exposures and their outcomes.
