To update notifications to the Occupational Safety and Health Service of the Department of Labour (OSH) Notifiable Occupational Disease System (NODS) from June 1996 to the beginning of 1999.
All notifications received for non-asbestos related occupational respiratory disease were reviewed to confirm the clinical diagnosis, occupational causation, and to identify the causative agent where possible.
54 cases of asthma were notified, of which 21 (39%) were accepted as being occupationally caused. These cases arose from 'predictable' industries.
NODS offers sentinel data from interested practitioners and workplaces. Occupational asthma and other occupational respiratory diseases remain poorly notified to this system. NODS confirms the presence of occupational asthma in New Zealand from predictable and preventable causes not dissimilar to other countries. This data collection system needs supplementation by other mechanisms.
更新1996年6月至1999年初向劳工部职业安全与健康服务局（OSH）可报告职业病系统（NODS）提交的报告。
对所有收到的与非石棉相关职业性呼吸系统疾病的报告进行审查，以确认临床诊断、职业病因，并尽可能确定致病因素。
共报告了54例哮喘病例，其中21例（39%）被确认为职业性病因。这些病例来自“可预测”行业。
NODS提供了来自相关从业者和工作场所的哨兵数据。职业性哮喘和其他职业性呼吸系统疾病向该系统报告的情况仍然很差。NODS证实新西兰存在由与其他国家类似的可预测和可预防原因导致的职业性哮喘。这个数据收集系统需要通过其他机制进行补充。
