Wisconsin Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Program

描述(由申请人提供)：职业健康危害继续导致威斯康星州的疾病、残疾和过早死亡。威斯康星州每年平均有101人在工作场所死亡，15万多人受伤。威斯康星州2010年健康计划(HW 2010)承认提供健康工作场所的重要性，并概述了防止此类事件发生的战略。2010年HW呼吁扩大职业监测能力，将其作为一项战略，以实现“健康的地方有健康的人”的愿景。这项拨款提案的目标是加强威斯康星州现有的职业安全和健康监测系统。为此，将在威斯康星州现有的职业监测活动基础上增加新的优先数据收集领域--职业性哮喘和听力损失；通过编写教育文件、专题介绍、出席会议和利用技术传播信息，推动扩大沟通和伙伴关系网络；以及实施有效的干预措施，以实现方案目标。同时扩大伙伴关系网络、利用其专门知识并提高有效干预能力的创新办法是通过使用微型赠款。我们局有成功实施这一办法的历史。威斯康星州职业健康计划将编写和管理微型补助金，作为制定、实施和评估干预措施的一种具有成本效益和时间效益的手段。这笔赠款将使人们能够使用经过验证的战略，通过扩大监测能力、加强伙伴关系和实施有效的干预措施，推动威斯康星州职业健康计划及其监测系统向前发展。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by applicant): Occupational health hazards continue to contribute to disease, disability and premature death in Wisconsin. Every year Wisconsin averages 101 fatalities and more than 150,000 injuries in the workplace. The state health plan, Healthiest Wisconsin 2010 (HW 2010) recognizes the importance of providing healthy workplaces and outlines strategies to prevent these incidents from occurring. HW 2010 calls for expanding capacity of occupational surveillance as one strategy to meet the vision of "healthy people in healthy places." The goal of this grant proposal is to enhance the existing Wisconsin occupational safety and health surveillance system. This will be done by adding new priority data collection areas, occupational asthma and hearing loss, to Wisconsin's existing occupational surveillance activites; by moving forward with the expansion of the communication and partnership network with the development of educational documents, presentations, attendance at meetings and using technology to disseminate information; and by implementing effective interventions to meet programmatic goals. An innovative approach to simultaneously expand the partnership network, leverage their expertise, and increase the capacity for effective interventions is through the use of mini-grants. Our Bureau has a history of successful implementation of this approach. The Wisconsin Occupational Health Program will write and administrate mini-grants as a cost-effective and time efficient means of intervention development, implementation and evaluation. This grant will enable the use of proven strategies to move the Wisconsin Occupational Health Program and its Surveillance System forward by expanding surveillance capability, enhancing partnerships and implementing effective interventions.
