Occupational Safety and Health Surviellance in New York

描述（由申请人提供）：纽约州卫生部（NYSDOH）、职业健康局（BOH）建议维持和加强职业死亡率和肺病监测，调查伤害、死亡和肺病高风险的工作环境，并制定和传播预防战略给那些能够在工作场所进行干预的人。BOH将扩大现有的死亡率评估和控制评估（NY FACE）计划，通过提高对工作场所危害的认识，改善工人、雇主、健康和安全专业人员以及设备制造商的安全实践和政策，减少纽约州与工作有关的死亡和伤害事件。BOH还将继续利用职业肺病登记（OLDR）对纽约州的职业肺病进行监测，开展旨在减少和消除纽约州职业肺病的预防工作，并评估这些工作的有效性。BOH采用了一种通用的方法来整合其项目的预防活动。该方法以健康和安全文献中关于行为改变的若干原则为指导。为了达到减少与工作有关的疾病、伤害和死亡发生的最终目标，有必要改变工作社区内个人的知识、态度和行为。具体来说，这可以通过干预提高工人对工作场所危害的认识，改变工人预防疾病、伤害和死亡的知识，改进安全实践和遵守安全计划，改变政策，改进安全计划和启动工程变更来实现。这些结果体现在为纽约FACE和OLDR项目制定的目标中。为了最大限度地利用BOH项目的资源，BOH计划实施一个决策逻辑模型，该模型将产生一个更具成本效益的项目，使BOH能够在控制成本的同时进行更多的推广。每年将针对几起伤害、死亡和肺部疾病事件进行全面的现场调查。然而，对于一些没有进行全面现场调查的事故，以及已经存在的预防信息，BOH现在将利用其他信息来源和合作伙伴来提供具体事件的信息。这应该允许BOH在纽约州内达到更广泛的社区。卫生局还计划通过确定分发的预防材料和建议是否被接受者接受并认为有用，以及它们是否导致知识、工作场所政策和行为的变化，来加强和加强对方案和材料的评估。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), Bureau of Occupational Health (BOH) proposes to maintain and enhance occupational fatality and lung disease surveillance, investigate work situations high risk for injuries, fatalities and lung diseases, and formulate and disseminate prevention strategies to those who can intervene in the workplace. BOH will expand upon the existing Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (NY FACE) program to reduce the incident of work-related fatalities and injuries in NYS by increasing awareness of workplace hazards, and improving safety practices and policies among workers, employers, health and safety professionals, and equipment manufacturers. BOH will also continue to utilize the Occupational Lung Disease Registry (OLDR) to conduct surveillance for occupational lung diseases in NYS, undertake prevention efforts aimed at reducing and eliminating occupational lung diseases in NYS, and evaluate the effectiveness of these efforts. BOH has adopted a general approach to integrate the prevention activities of its programs. This approach is guided by several principles on behavior change in the health and safety literature. In order to achieve the ultimate goal of reducing the occurrence of work-related illnesses, injuries and fatalities, it is necessary to change the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of individuals within the working community. This is achieved concretely by intervening to increase awareness of workplace hazards among workers, changing workers' knowledge to prevent illnesses, injuries and fatalities, improving safety practices and compliance with safety programs, changing policies, improving safety programs and initiating engineering changes. These outcomes are represented by the goals established for the NY FACE and OLDR programs. In order to maximize the resources of BOH's programs, BOH plans to implement a decision logic model which should result in a more cost-effective program, enabling BOH to conduct more outreach while controlling costs. Several injury, fatality and lung disease incidents will be targeted each year for full site investigations. However, for a number of incidents that do not result in a full site investigation and where prevention information already exists, BOH will now utilize other information sources and partners to provide information specific to the event. This should allow BOH to reach a broader community within NYS. BOH plans to strengthen and enhance evaluation of the programs and materials as well, by determining if prevention materials and recommendations that are distributed are accepted and perceived useful by recipients, and if they result in changes in knowledge, workplace policies and behaviors.
