The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
is the Federal agency responsible for occupational safety and
health research. In collaboration with its many partners, NIOSH is
committed to the collection, analysis, dissemination, and use of
data describing the prevalence of disease and health risk factors
among workers in the United States. The National Academies has
urged greater use of injury and illness data at the national level
to identify priorities, focus resources, and evaluate prevention
program effectiveness. The Occupational Research Group at the
University of Miami is illustrative of an extramural partnership
which complements NIOSH intramural programs of surveillance and
research. Using population health data collected through CDC's
National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), they have
successfully undertaken a broadly based research program that
describes employed worker's disability, disease, health care
access, health behaviors and mortality among occupational groups
and industry sectors. With the second decade of NORA, NIOSH is
developing strategies and programs to better move research to
practice within workplaces, using an industry sector-based approach
to define high priority needs. The Occupational Research Group at
the University of Miami has since completed extensive analyses
describing the prevalence of disability, morbidity, mortality, and
injury & disease burden among workers employed within the eight
NORA sector groups identified in 2006: Agriculture, forestry and
Fishing; Mining; Construction; Manufacturing; Wholesale and Retail
Trade; Transportation, Warehousing, and Utilities; Services; and
Health Care and Social Assistance. This report is one of a series
of reports developed to describe the prevalence of disability and
morbidity among current workers within these eight industry
sectors. Survey data from the years 1997-2007 were used to describe
the five aspects of worker's health, including (1) health status,
(2) physical activity limitations or disability, (3) prevalent
chronic conditions (cancer, hypertension, heart disease, asthma,
diabetes, and severe psychological distress); (4) access to and use
of health care services; and (5) health risk factors or behaviors.
The report was developed as a descriptive resource to supplement
ongoing research, and guide occupational health research and
research-to-practice activities within industry. Additionally, the
information in this report will facilitate a Total Worker Health
approach to occupational safety and health research. NIOSH
increasingly sees the value of integrating occupational safety and
health programs that safeguard workers from work-related hazards
and programs that promote overall well-being. This report provides
data on characteristics of workers health that must be better
understood to fulfill the mandate to assure safe and healthful
working conditions and to preserve our human resources.
