Worker Health Surveillance
At NIOSH, we study trends in worker injuries and illnesses. Our surveillance studies make a difference in worker safety and health by:
-
- Tracking diseases, injuries and workplace exposures for further study
- Identifying new and emerging problems in the workplace
- Providing evidence used to direct intervention and prevention activities
- Monitoring the overall impact of occupational health research
Federal, State and private industry partners regularly collect and provide us with the data that we use in our surveillance studies. These data are unique because they provide current information about injuries and illnesses occurring among workers in different jobs and industries. With these data, we are able to monitor recent trends in work-related injuries, illnesses, hazards, deaths, and exposures.
