Description:Our world is constantly evolving. Computers that used to occupy an entire room now fit in the palm of our hands. Information that used to require hours of searching, sorting, and reading is now available with the click of a button. Similarly, the way NIOSH shares work-related public health surveillance data has evolved to address research needs and technological advances.
Public health surveillance is the ongoing systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health-related data. Public health surveillance data that focus on workers have many important uses such as identifying industries and occupations with the highest risk for injuries and fatalities. Data are collected by:
• federal, state, and local agencies
• private industries
• insurance companies
• workers compensation programs
During a National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health (NACOSH) meeting in 1998, attendees identified a need for a single document that summarizes data from various sources. NIOSH committed to developing this document with input from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
