• Description:
  A safe and healthy workforce supports Nebraska's economy and helps Nebraskans live healthier lives. Each year thousands of workers experience a work-related injury or illness. These events have significant impacts on workers and their families, employers, and the state of Nebraska. The Nebraska Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Program (NOSHP) tracks injuries, illnesses, deaths, and hazards among Nebraska workers. NOSHP also calculates occupational health indicators, which are standard measures of work-related injuries, diseases, or factors associated with occupational health. Indicators were developed to help states evaluate and compare occupational health data. The following report presents a review of 20 occupational health indicators from 2000 to 2009 and a comparison of Nebraska occupational health data with national data. Methodologies, limitations, and general trends of these data are also discussed. More information about occupational health indicators, including detailed methodologies and data from others states, can be found on the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) Occupational Health Indicators website at www.cste.org.
