The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program aims to improve occupational illness and injury surveillance. This cooperative state-federal effort, SENSOR, seeks to enhance local capabilities for recognizing, reporting, and preventing work-related disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Public Health Surveillance
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Existing state provider reporting systems have limitations in targeted occupational illness and injury surveillance.
  • Previous systems have not fully realized their potential for proactive monitoring of work-related health issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a uniform and active approach to provider reporting for occupational disorders.
  • To develop local capacity for recognition, reporting, follow-up, and prevention of selected occupational diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Creation of the SENSOR (Sentinel Event Notification System for Occupational Risks) program.
  • Cooperative state-federal effort to fund pilot projects demonstrating feasibility.
  • Focus on developing local capabilities for occupational health surveillance.

Main Results:

  • Initial SENSOR projects funded in 1987 demonstrated the feasibility of the approach.
  • Highlights the necessity of sustained joint state-federal support for SENSOR's long-term success.

Conclusions:

  • SENSOR offers a standardized method to enhance occupational illness and injury surveillance.
  • It should complement, not replace, existing surveillance methods developed by NIOSH and states.
