• Description:
  This report contains data and information on occupational injuries and illnesses in New Hampshire, which marks an important step on the path to a safer and healthier work environment for New Hampshire workers. The report format used is based on the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (NIOSH-CDC) -Occupational Health Indicators: A Guide for Tracking "Occupational Health Conditions and Their Determinants." This guide was produced by the NIOSH-States Occupational Health Surveillance Work Group, which was created to make recommendations to NIOSH concerning fundamental State-based surveillance activities, beginning with recommendations to identify occupational injuries, illnesses, and hazards to be placed under surveillance by states. The resulting occupational health indicators have been utilized by many states to produce state occupational health surveillance reports. Using the above framework, this report includes available New Hampshire data on many of the established occupational health injury and illness indicators, as well as indicators specific to New Hampshire's working population. Because New Hampshire does not participate in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Survey of Occupational Injury and Illness (SOII), we are unable to report on those indicators. The numbered indicators are aligned with the appropriate indicators in the CSTE/ NIOSH Guide. These indicators illustrate the importance of collecting occupational health injury and illness data to inform prevention efforts aimed at eliminating or reducing work-related events.
