Oklahoma Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance

描述（由申请人提供）：职业伤害是美国和俄克拉荷马州一个重要的公共卫生问题。目前，俄克拉何马州和整个美国的职业监督工作是分散和不一致的。俄克拉何马州职业安全和健康监测项目将建立一个基本的监测系统，以收集全州范围内关于职业危害、疾病、伤害和死亡的数据。俄克拉何马州职业安全和健康监测计划的长期目标是：1)收集和分析职业健康状况的标准化指标，以确定俄克拉何马州职业危害、疾病、伤害和死亡的程度和趋势；2)发展、实施和评估俄克拉何马州的职业伤害和疾病预防项目。该提案的具体目标是：1)收集全州职业健康指标数据；2)建立科学咨询委员会，为收集和传播职业健康状况数据和制定预防方案提供意见；3)分析职业健康指标数据，为NIOSH和其他合作伙伴/利益相关者提供数据；4)参加职业状况监测联合会和协调委员会的所有会议；5)准备一份监控项目的绩效评估。根据国家和地区流行病学家委员会和NIOSH制定的指导方针，将从现有数据库中收集项目公告中规定的所有13种健康状况的数据，以便于在各州之间进行比较。根据科学咨询委员会和NIOSH的意见，未来几年将扩大监测系统，进行特别研究，启动预防计划，并准备出版物。建立俄克拉何马州职业安全和健康监督计划将是俄克拉何马州减少这些不利职业健康状况的第一步。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): Occupational injuries are a significant public health problem in the U.S. and in Oklahoma. Currently, occupational surveillance efforts in Oklahoma and across the U.S. are fragmented and inconsistent. The Oklahoma Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance program will establish a fundamental surveillance system to collect statewide data on occupational hazards, diseases, injuries, and deaths. The long term objectives of the Oklahoma Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance program are to 1) collect and analyze standardized indicators on occupational health conditions in order to determine the magnitude and trends of occupational hazards, diseases, injuries, and deaths in Oklahoma; and 2) develop, implement, and evaluate occupational injury and illness prevention programs in Oklahoma. The specific aims of this proposal are to 1) collect statewide occupational health indicator data; 2) establish a scientific advisory committee to provide input on collecting and disseminating data on occupational health conditions and establishing prevention programs; 3) analyze occupational health indicator data and provide data to NIOSH and other partners/stakeholders; 4) participate in all meetings of the Consortium of Occupational State-based Surveillance and the Coordination Committee; and 5) prepare a performance review of the surveillance program. Data on all 13 health conditions specified in the program announcement will be collected from existing databases according to the guidelines developed by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists and NIOSH to facilitate comparisons between states. Based on input from the scientific advisory committee and NIOSH, in future years the surveillance system will be expanded, special studies conducted, prevention programs initiated, and publications prepared. Establishing the Oklahoma Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance program will be the first step towards the reduction of these adverse occupational health conditions in Oklahoma.
