2014 Annual Report: Summary of Occupational Disease Reports to the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs



Details

  • Personal Author:
  • Description:
    This is the 23rd annual report on occupational diseases in Michigan, and is based upon the reports submitted to the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) in calendar year 2014. Since 1978, physicians, hospitals, clinics, other health professionals and employers have been required by the Michigan Public Health Code (Article 368, Part 56, P.A. 1978, as amended) to report known or suspected cases of occupational diseases. LARA designates Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine, Occupational and Environmental Medicine Division (MSU OEM) as its bona fide agent to compile and analyze the occupational disease reports. A standard form is used to report individuals with a known or suspected work-related condition. It requests medical and demographic information on the affected employee as well as information about the facility at which the employee became ill. Figure 1 is a copy of the Known or Suspected Occupational Disease reporting form. Reports received are reviewed by MSU OEM staff and computerized. In some cases, additional follow-up is conducted. The reported patient may be contacted and interviewed by staff at MSU OEM to obtain more information about their illness. A Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) enforcement inspection may be initiated at the patient's workplace to assess current working conditions and determine if other employees are experiencing similar health issues. Reports are analyzed on a yearly basis and the results are shared with health professionals and other stakeholders. [Description provided by NIOSH]
