  • Description:
    A safe and healthy workforce supports Nebraska's economy and helps Nebraskans live healthier lives. Each year thousands of workers are injured or become ill due to an exposure to a health hazard in the workplace. These events have significant impacts on workers and their families, employers, and the state of Nebraska. In 2010, the Nebraska Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Program (NOSHP) was established with funding from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), an institute in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The primary goal of the program is to conduct occupational health surveillance, which is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of data related to occupational health. To enhance assessment and comparison of injury and illness data, NIOSH and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) developed a standardized set of occupational health indicators in 1999. An occupational health indicator is a specific measure of a work-related injury or disease, or a factor associated with occupational health, such as workplace exposures, hazards, or interventions in a specified population. Indicators allow a state to determine the health and risk status of workers, compare data with other states, and evaluate trends over time. Nebraska Occupational Health Indicator Report, 2013 presents a snapshot of 20 occupational health indicators using data from 2010. A comparison of Nebraska occupational health indicators with U.S. data is also included for many indicators. [Description provided by NIOSH]
