Significant progress has been made in occupational disease and injury surveillance systems since 1986. The next challenge is national implementation to close the existing surveillance gap.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational health
  • Public health surveillance
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Since 1986, advancements in occupational disease and injury surveillance systems have been notable.
  • Existing systems aim to identify new hazards, track injury trends, detect outbreaks, and flag prevention failures.
  • A fragmented network of surveillance systems has been established by federal agencies, with states actively developing additional ones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the progress in developing occupational disease and injury surveillance systems.
  • To highlight the achievements in meeting core surveillance goals.
  • To identify the remaining challenges in national surveillance implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of implemented federal occupational disease and injury surveillance systems.

  • Analysis of state-led development of new surveillance capabilities.
  • Assessment of the conceptual framework for "closing the surveillance gap".

    • Main Results:

    • Substantial progress achieved in occupational disease and injury surveillance since 1986.
    • Surveillance systems now better identify new diseases/injuries, estimate magnitude/trends, detect clusters, and identify sentinel events.
    • A patchwork of systems exists, with ongoing development by states.

    Conclusions:

    • The conceptual framework for "closing the surveillance gap" is established.
    • National implementation of comprehensive occupational health surveillance remains a key future challenge.
    • Continued development and integration of state and federal systems are crucial for effective prevention.
