Georgia Occupational Health Surveillance Program

项目摘要 佐治亚州公共卫生部职业安全和健康监督计划 (GA-OHS)建议加强其目前的职业安全和健康监督，并 通过建立基础+计划来增强其能力。GA-OHS将继续 系统地收集、分析、解释和传播关于国家就业概况的数据 以及美国国家职业安全研究所推荐的24家职业安全卫生机构 以及州和地区流行病学家理事会(CSTE)。 此外，将每年对GA-BRFSS进行分析，以获得两个已确定状态的数据- 具体的职业健康状况：工作场所二手烟暴露和员工的关节炎。佐治亚州 暴力死亡报告系统(GA-VDR)的数据也将每年进行分析，以获得新的 确定工作场所暴力死亡程度的国家工作相关暴力死亡具体指标 佐治亚州与工作有关的杀人案和自杀案。 GA-OHS将对比率上升的OHIS进行深入分析和监测 随着时间的推移，在佐治亚州，比率高于全国平均水平的OHIS，以及那些被确定为 新出现的问题。这些优先OHIS和新出现的条件包括与工作相关的 交通事故、与工作有关的农药相关疾病和伤害以及与工作有关的 新冠肺炎。与DPH环境卫生科合作，GA-OHS将 对16岁及以上居民事件案件进行跟踪调查 提升的≥BLLS为25微克/分升。 GA-OHS建议保持和加强其现有的进行基础OH的能力 通过建立两个新的深入监测活动进行监测(基础+ 项目)。对于项目一，GA-OHS将进行深入的评估和后续活动 与工作有关的自杀和工作场所自杀。将与雇主一起开展后续活动 谁愿意接受心理健康培训或其员工可用的资源。为 项目二，GA-OHS将与佐治亚州呼吸健康理事会合作 促进和制定DPH哮喘控制和预防计划的政策和干预 与工作相关的哮喘项目。 GA-OHS将维持一个咨询委员会，成员包括主要合作伙伴和 利益攸关方组织和机构。我们还将全面参与CDC/NIOSH-和 受赠人召开的会议或电话会议，并与其他国家合作 关于共同感兴趣的话题的监视计划和关键组织。GA-OHS将使用 来自数据分析和监测结果的结果，为新的 建立伙伴关系，促进干预和/或预防活动的实施。预期 项目产出和成果包括但不限于： ·职业健康监测报告、数据摘要和科学期刊文章 ·提高对工作交通资源的认识和开发 事件、与农药有关的工伤/疾病、与工作有关的新冠肺炎 ·编写和传播铅暴露教育材料、指南和 为工人和雇主提供培训资源，以帮助减少职业铅 曝光量 ·提高对格鲁吉亚工作场所和与工作有关的自杀的认识 ·开发和传播资源，以提高#年的精神卫生意识 工作场所 ·编制和传播与工作有关的哮喘健康教育材料 护理提供者、雇主和工作人员 ·监测和干预与工作有关的哮喘的政策。

Project Summary The Georgia Department of Public Health Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Program (GA-OHS) proposes to strengthen its current occupational safety and health surveillance and build upon its capacity by establishing a Fundamental-Plus Program. GA-OHS will continue to systematically collect, analyze, interpret, and disseminate data on the state employment profile and the 24 OHIs that have been recommended by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE). Additionally, the GA-BRFSS, will be analyzed annually to obtain data for two identified state- specific OHIs: workplace secondhand smoke exposure and arthritis among employees. Georgia Violent Death Reporting System (GA-VDRS) data will also be analyzed annually for a new state-specific indicator on work-related violent deaths to determine the magnitude of workplace and work-related homicides and suicides in Georgia. GA-OHS will conduct in-depth analyses and surveillance of OHIs with rates that have increased over time in Georgia, OHIs that have rates above the national average, and those identified as emerging issues. These priority OHIs and emerging conditions include work-related transportation incidents, work-related pesticide associated illness and injury, and work-related COVID-19. In collaboration with the DPH Environmental Health Section, GA-OHS will implement follow-back investigations of resident incident cases age 16 years and older with elevated BLLs of ≥ 25 µg/dL. GA-OHS proposes to maintain and build upon its current capacity to conduct Fundamental OH Surveillance by establishing two new in-depth surveillance activities (Fundamental-Plus projects). For Project One, GA-OHS will conduct in-depth assessment and follow-back activities for work-related and workplace suicides. Follow-back activities will be conducted with employers who would like to receive mental health trainings or resources available for their employees. For Project Two, GA-OHS will work in collaboration with the Georgia Council on Respiratory Health Promotion and DPH Asthma Control and Prevention Program to create a policy and intervention program for work-related asthma. GA-OHS will maintain an Advisory Committee including representatives of key partners and stakeholder organizations and agencies. We will also participate fully in CDC/NIOSH- and recipient-convened meetings or conference calls of grantees and collaborate with other state surveillance programs and key organizations on topics of mutual interest. GA-OHS will use results from data analyses and surveillance findings to inform the development of new partnerships and facilitate implementation of intervention and/or prevention activities. Expected project outputs and outcomes include, but are not limited to: • Occupational health surveillance reports, data summaries, and scientific journal articles • Increased awareness and development of resources for work-related transportation incidents, work-related pesticide injuries/illnesses, and work-related COVID-19 • Development and dissemination of lead exposure educational materials, guidance, and training resources for workers and employers to help reduce occupational lead exposures • Increased awareness of workplace and work-related suicides in Georgia • Development and dissemination of resources to increase mental health awareness in workplaces • Development and dissemination of work-related asthma educational materials for health care providers, employers, and workers • A policy for surveillance and intervention of work-related asthma.
