A Smarter National Surveillance System for Occupational Safety and Health in the 21st Century
This new report, from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, provides a comprehensive assessment of the state of OSH surveillance. It is intended to be useful to federal and state agencies that have an interest in occupational safety and health, but may also be of interest broadly to employers, labor unions and other worker advocacy organizations, the workers’ compensation insurance industry, as well as state epidemiologists, academic researchers, and the broader public health community. The recommendations address the strengths and weaknesses of the envisioned system relative to the status quo and both short- and long-term actions and strategies needed to bring about a progressive evolution of the current system.
These briefings were for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on January 9, 2018 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
