• Description:
  Each year, thousands of workers in Nebraska experience a work-related injury or illness. These events have significant impacts on workers and their families, employers, and the state of Nebraska. A safe and healthy workforce supports Nebraska's economy and helps Nebraskans live healthier lives. The Nebraska Occupational Health Surveillance Program conducts occupational health surveillance for the State of Nebraska. We use standardized measures called Occupational Health Indicators for tracking work-related injuries, illnesses, deaths, and other aspects of worker health and safety. Indicators are calculated using methods developed by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), and they help states evaluate and compare occupational health data. The following annual report presents a summary of Occupational Health Indicators for Nebraska. For most indicators, data are presented for years 2009-2014. Data summarizing the United States is also provided when available, however direct, comparisons for some indicators are limited due to differences in industries and populations. More information about Occupational Health Indicators, including detailed methodologies and limitations are on the CSTE Website at www.cste.org. [Description provided by NIOSH]
