• Description:
  Increasingly, workers, employers and public health professionals have turned to State government for education, expertise and protection to ensure a safe and healthy workplace. During the past century major advances have been made in recognizing, evaluating, and preventing hazards that contribute to occupational injury, illness, and death. The Department of Health and Family Services is proud to continue in a leadership role promoting this advance. The Division of Public Health's Bureau of Environmental and Occupational Health has taken the lead to move Wisconsin forward to meet Healthiest Wisconsin 2010, State Health Plan's vision of "healthy people in healthy communities" by: Tracking occupational injuries, illnesses and death; Investigating circumstances around workplace illness, injury and death in Wisconsin; Participating in national work groups and local coalitions; Linking environmental health, protection and preparedness, with occupational safety, community coalitions and governmental agencies; Developing and disseminating materials to educate workers and administrators about workplace hazards and how to prevent them: Evaluating the effectiveness of workplace interventions; and, Measuring improvement. An Annual Report: Occupational Health in Wisconsin, produced by the Bureau's Occupational Health Program, serves as an added tool to move us toward this vision. It is the first surveillance report to use the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE)/National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 19 indicators to inform the health and safety of Wisconsin's workers. These data are intended to empower both employers and workers to produce effective responses to illness, injury and death in the workplace. [Description provided by NIOSH]
