Washington Occupational Injury and Illness Surveillance Program

 描述(由申请人提供)：华盛顿州的职业伤害和疾病(石油)的人力和经济成本是不可接受的。为了减轻石油的负担，州职业公共卫生计划需要汇集来自研究结果、科学文献、伤害和疾病数据、工人和公司活动以及行业实践的信息，以告知和教育利益相关者、政府官员和普通公众，以确保基于证据的安全和健康预防计划和公共政策。我们的石油监测计划通过向需要了解情况的人提供相关、及时、准确的公共卫生数据和信息，有助于减少华盛顿州的工作场所伤害和疾病发生率。简单地说，我们的监控计划为行动提供信息。为了实现这些目标，我们为我们的“整体”职业健康监测计划提出了以下具体目标：1.通过咨询委员会的投入、职业伤害和疾病数据以及安全和健康行动的新机会，确定监测、研究和预防机会。2.实施以州为基础的全面监测计划，以处理创伤伤害、与工作有关的肌肉骨骼疾病、职业伤害和疾病的高危行业、职业呼吸系统疾病和危险职业暴露。3.为石油监测的新办法开发和使用更多的数据来源，包括制定工人自我报告石油的年度衡量标准，并继续最大限度地利用华盛顿独特的工人补偿数据进行监测。4.通过使用以州为基础的职业伤害和疾病数据、监测和研究方案成果，影响公共政策、他人的安全和健康行动，并防止工作场所伤害和疾病。5.加强与我们的学术、州和联邦合作伙伴的伙伴关系，以减少石油供应。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The human and economic costs of occupational injury and illness (Oil) in Washington State are unacceptable. In order to reduce the burden of Oil, state occupational public health programs need to bring together information from research findings, scientific literature, injury and illness data, worker and company activities, and industy practices to inform and educate stakeholders, government officials, and the general public to ensure evidence-based safety and health prevention programs and public policy. Our Oil surveillance program contributes to reducing the incidence of workplace injury and illness in Washington State by providing relevant, timely, accurate public health data and information to those who need to know. Simply, our surveillance program provides information for action. To accomplish these ends we propose the following specific aims for our 'overall' occupational health surveillance program - 1. Identify surveillance, research and prevention opportunities through advisory committee input, occupational injury and illness data, and emerging opportunities for safety and health action. 2. Implement a comprehensive state-based surveillance program addressing traumatic injuries, work-related musculoskeletal disorders, high risk industries for occupational injury and illness, occupational respiratory disease, and hazardous occupational exposures. 3. Develop and use additional data sources for novel approaches to Oil surveillance, including the development of an annual measure of worker self-reported Oil and continuing to maximize use of Washington's unique workers compensation data for surveillance. 4. Influence public policy, the safety and health actions of others, and prevent workplace injury and illness through the use of state-based occupational injury and illness data, surveillance and research program outputs. 5. Grow partnerships with our academic, state and federal partners to reduce Oil.
