CFOI uses multiple data sources
including death certificates, workers’ compensation reports, reports to
various regulatory agencies, police reports, medical examiner records, as
well as newspaper reports, to identify and verify work-related fatalities.
|
|
The number of workers is reported
in CPS, a monthly household survey that collects data on the employment
status of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 16 years and
older. The number of workers includes full- and part-time workers, and is
averaged over the calendar to account for seasonal and other variation.
|
|
Information on the type of
industry for the numerator is based on employer responses from CFOI. For the
denominator, type of industry is determined from the response of the next of
kin on the death certificate. The type of industry responses from CFOI and
the death certificate are then converted to Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) codes.

The Annual Survey of Occupational
Injuries and Illnesses is a Federal/State program in which employer reports
are collected from approximately 164,000 private industry establishments. The
survey measures nonfatal injuries and illnesses only and excludes the
self-employed, farms with fewer than 11 employees, private households, and
employees in Federal, State, and local government agencies.
|
|
Nonfatal occupational injuries are
defined as any injury involving loss of consciousness, restriction of work or
motion, transfer to another job, or medical treatment other than first aid.
For this objective nonfatal occupational injuries include those to workers
regardless of age that involve days away from work as well as those without
lost workdays.
|
|
The rate per 100 full-time workers
is computed by (1) dividing the number of occupational injuries reported by
the total number of hours worked by all employees during the calendar year,
and (2) multiplying the result by 200,000. The factor 200,000 represents the
hours worked in a year by 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours
work per week, 50 weeks a year).
|
|
Information on the type of
industry for the numerator is based on employer responses and converted to
Standard Industrial Classification codes.

For this objective nonfatal occupational injuries include those to workers

|
|
The rate per 100 full-time workers
is computed by dividing the number of occupational injuries reported by the

multiplied by 200,000. The factor 200,000 represents the hours worked in a

This objective differs from
Healthy People 2000 objective 10.2, which tracked nonfatal, work-related
injuries in various industries. This objective tracks nonfatal, work-related
injuries in the manufacturing industry, which was not previously a separately

Comments

NEISS data are based on
work-related injury data reported in a national sample of hospital emergency
departments. Coders report only those injuries that are designated as “work-related.”
|
|
The denominator is taken from the
Current Population Survey, a monthly household survey that collects data on
the employment status of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population.
Unpublished data are available for persons aged 15 years; these data are
combined with the standard CPS data for persons aged 16 to 17 years.
|
|
The rate per 100 full-time
adolescent workers is computed by multiplying the number of injuries reported
to workers aged 15 to 17 years divided by the total hours worked by employees
aged 15 to 17 years during the calendar year, multiplied by 200,000. The
factor 200,000 represents the hours worked in a year by 100 full-time
equivalent workers (working 40 hours work per week, 50 weeks a year).
|
|
The baseline data are based on
fiscal year 1997, though labeled 1996. Future rates will be based on calendar
years due to changes in the weighting strategy for the NEISS hospitals.

Twenty-five States reported 10,501
adults aged 16 to 64 years with blood lead levels of 25 μg/dL or greater in 1998. This
objective differs from Healthy People 2000 objective 10.8 in that it tracks
the rate per million in ABLES States as a measure; 10.8 tracked the number of
adults with blood lead levels greater than 25 μg in ABLES States.

The computation of this measure is
the same as for 20-2a except the multiplication factor is 200,000,000 instead
of 200,000, in order to produce a rate per 100,000.

For this objective nonfatal
occupational skin diseases or disorders include those to workers regardless
of age that involve days away from work as well as those without lost
workdays.

Comments
|
The baseline was set using data
from the 1992 National Survey of Worksite Health Promotion Activities, which
collected data from the private sector and may not accurately reflect the
practices of public sector organizations.
|
|
Data from the 1999 National
Worksite Health Promotion Survey reported that only 26 percent of worksites
offered worksite-based stress management programs, but that 48 percent
offered stress management either in the worksite or through their health care
programs. NIOSH is currently planning data collection efforts to better
understand stress prevention activities in both public and private
workplaces.
