Improving Occupational Health in Oregon: Turning Data to Action

项目总结 俄勒冈州职业公共卫生计划(OPHP)是一项成熟而富有成效的职业健康计划 监控系统。自1992年以来，在NIOSH的持续资助下，OPHP在培养 伙伴关系、开展监测和职业健康教育/宣传。自2002年以来，我们扩大了 该项目是俄勒冈州健康与科学学院之间独特的大学与政府合作项目 俄勒冈大学(OHSU)和俄勒冈州卫生局(OHA)。这项工作的基础是我们的 基本监测系统，包括收集和分析职业健康指标(OHI)； 以及我们扩大的计划监督活动，包括通过 俄勒冈州死亡评估、控制和评估(OR-FACE)项目。我们的传播努力利用 通过俄勒冈州外联计划获得的数十年经验、伙伴关系和系统 OHSU职业健康科学研究所。成就亮点(2015-当前)包括 深度评估我们的监测系统；检查与工作有关的创伤性脑损伤；评估 年轻工人中的非致残工人索赔；一种新的最先进的死亡人数 监测数据库；通过培训伙伴关系推广预防死亡；以及创新死亡 与小型建筑公司和农业雇主进行预防宣传。对职业安全的需要 健康监测项目仍然很高。而一些职业健康指标(OHI) 俄勒冈州的情况有所改善，但工作场所的伤害和疾病仍然很常见。2017年，俄勒冈州有超过 4.6万名工伤和疾病，经历了6.88亿美元的工伤赔偿 索赔。2018年俄勒冈州的职业死亡率为每10万名工人3.1人(2018年美国平均= 3.5)，但更低的费率是可以实现的。在我们的复兴议程中，我们将继续提供国家一级的领导 职业公共卫生，并通过协作监测、伙伴关系和有影响力的 外展。我们的首要目标是提供高质量的监测数据和干预建议 (产出)提供给能够采取行动促进工作场所健康和拯救生命的安全专业人员(影响 和结果)。为了实现这一目标并实现我们的目标结果，我们提出了一个创新的方案 战略，具体目标如下：(1)维持和改进基本职业监测 通过职业健康指标活动建立系统；(2)调查新出现的问题，职业 疾病和伤害；(3)将服务不足和脆弱的工人群体置于职业中心 健康监测；以及(4)促进合作、沟通、劳动力发展和翻译 把科学付诸行动。

PROJECT SUMMARY The Oregon Occupational Public Health Program (OPHP) is a mature and productive occupational health surveillance system. With continuous funding from NIOSH since 1992, the OPHP has excelled at cultivating partnerships, conducting surveillance, and occupational health education/outreach. Since 2002, our Expanded Program has operated as a unique university-government collaboration between Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). The foundation of this work rests on our fundamental surveillance system that includes collection and analysis of occupational health indicators (OHIs), and on our Expanded Program surveillance activities, including workplace fatality prevention through the Oregon Fatality Assessment Control & Evaluation (OR-FACE) project. Our dissemination efforts leverage decades of experience, partnerships and systems available through the Outreach Program at the Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences at OHSU. Accomplishment highlights (2015-current) include an in- depth evaluation of our surveillance system; examination of work-related traumatic brain injuries; assessment of non-disabling workers compensation claims among young workers; a new state-of-the art fatality surveillance database; fatality prevention outreach through training partnerships; and innovative fatality prevention outreach with small construction firms and agricultural employers. The need for occupational safety and health surveillance programs remains high. While some occupational health indicators (OHIs) have improved in Oregon, workplace injuries and illnesses remain far too common. In 2017, Oregon had over 46,000 work-related injuries and illnesses, and experienced 688 million dollars in worker’s compensation claims. The Oregon occupational fatality rate was 3.1 deaths per 100,000 workers in 2018 (2018 US average = 3.5), but lower rates are achievable. In our renewal agenda, we will continue to provide state-level leadership for occupational public health, and create action through collaborative surveillance, partnerships, and impactful outreach. Our overarching goal is to provide quality surveillance data and intervention recommendations (outputs) to safety professionals who can take actions to promote workplace health and save lives (impacts and outcomes). To accomplish this goal and achieve our target outcomes, we propose an innovative program strategy with the following specific aims: (1) Maintain and improve fundamental occupational surveillance systems through Occupational Health Indicator (OHI) activities; (2) Investigate emerging issues, occupational illnesses and injuries; (3) Place underserved and vulnerable worker populations at the center of occupational health surveillance; and (4) Promote collaboration, communications, workforce development and translation of science into action.
