• Description:
  The Division of Public Health's Bureau of Environmental and Occupational Health is moving Wisconsin forward to meet the vision of Healthiest Wisconsin 2020, the State Health Plan: "everyone living better, longer" by: Tracking occupational injuries, illnesses, and death in Wisconsin. 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. The Occupational Health Program created this report to be an added tool to move us toward this vision. It provides an update to the last surveillance report, released in 2016. The Wisconsin Occupational Health Program maintains a federally funded occupational health surveillance system and bases its activities around collecting detailed information for 25 indicators identified by the Council for State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Occupational health indicators are summary measures that describe key aspects of adverse health outcomes associated with working in Wisconsin. More specifically, an occupational health indicator is a measure of a work-related disease or injury, or a factor associated with occupational health such as workplace exposures. The Wisconsin occupational health indicators describe key trends in occupational fatalities, non-fatal injuries, and health effects. These measures can be used as a foundation for developing appropriate intervention and prevention strategies and designing programs to address key occupational health concerns.
