Occupational Health Coordinating Group Advisory Cmte

描述(由申请人提供)：ACOEM职业健康咨询委员会(OHAC)计划召开一次规划会议，以发展和实施职业健康协调小组(OH-CG)的过去工作为基础。OH-CG的总体目标是接收、提供和分析有关威胁、漏洞、机会和步骤的高质量信息，以改善对工人及其环境的保护。OH-CG将加强职业健康系统的能力，以保护工作场所的人们免受恐怖主义和类似威胁的伤害。它将通过将职业卫生专业人员与其他机构(即卫生与公众服务部(HHS)和疾病控制和预防中心(CDC))联系起来实现这一目标。OH-CG将提供及时警报、访问早期预警和事件信息，以及在安全模式下与专家实时讨论和深入研究该主题的机会。委员会成员代表职业健康实践的不同领域，包括学术医疗中心、军事医学、社区职业健康诊所和咨询实践、企业医学主任、工业卫生和职业健康护理。本次会议的目标将是让OHAC继续制定联合国人权事务高级专员办事处第一个试点计划的参数(例如，要求、要包括的内容)。Pilot#1旨在测试1类数据、2类数据的功能，以及其他功能问题(例如，整个站点的结构以及小型、中型和大型公司的需求)。第1类数据被定义为特定于事件的信息-高度即时性(危及生命)且不会立即危及生命。第2类数据被定义为与事件无关的信息，是关于预防、准备、风险评估和缓解以及建议的应对方法和处理方案的参考信息。咨询委员会将在2005年秋季举行的咨询委员会年度最新会议上介绍本次会议的会议记录。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): ACOEM's Occupational Health Advisory Committee (OH AC) intends to convene a planning conference to build on its past work in developing and implementing an Occupational Health Coordinating Group (OH-CG). The overall goal of the OH-CG is to receive, provide, and analyze high quality information on threats, vulnerabilities, opportunities, and steps to improve the protection of workers and their environments. The OH-CG will enhance the capabilities of the occupational health system to protect people at their place of work from terrorism and similar threats. It will accomplish this by linking occupational health professionals with other agencies (i.e., the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)). An OH-CG will provide prompt alerts, access to early warning and event information, and an opportunity to discuss and delve into the subject with experts in real time within a secure mode. Members of the Committee represent the spectrum of occupational health practice, including academic medical centers, military medicine, community-based occupational health clinic and consulting practice, corporate medical directors, industrial hygiene, and occupational health nursing. The goal of this meeting will be for the OH AC to continue developing the parameters for the first pilot program for the OHCG (e.g., requirements, content to include). It is intended for Pilot #1 to test the functionality of Category 1 data, Category 2 data, and other functionality issues (e.g., structure of overall site and small, medium, and large company needs). Category 1 data is defined as event-specific information-high immediacy (life threatening) and not immediately life threatening. Category 2 data is defined as information that is not event-related and is reference information on prevention, preparedness, risk assessment and mitigation, and recommended response methods and treatment protocols. The Advisory Committee will present the proceedings from this meeting at ACOEM's annual State-of-the-Art Conference in Fall 2005.
