• Description:
  The Maryland Occupational Health and Safety Surveillance Project (OHSSP) successfully completed its cooperative agreement on June 30, 2016, with the following accomplishments: (1) The OHSSP created an inter-agency memo on protection for outdoor workers regarding Zika virus, in conjunction with the Department's Infectious Disease Bureau and the Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation, which houses the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) program; (2) OHSSP worked with other states and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) to develop sub-state level occupational indicators, and has piloted them in Maryland. These show considerable variability in certain types of common occupational injury across the State; (3) OHSSP and the Department's CDC/CSTE occupational epidemiology fellow collaborated with the Office of Occupational Medicine at the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) on a project to assess the quality of occupational titles and information in Salmonella and Campylobacter cases in the National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS) in Maryland. This work, which is ongoing, has the potential to improve ascertainment of occupationally acquired infectious diseases in the states; and (4) OHSSP created several infographics based on occupational health indicators (OHI), and these are now being used on the OHSSP website. In addition, it has developed a new report format for the presentation of OHIs. [Description provided by NIOSH]
