We have reviewed existing data sources available for conducting hazard surveillance. Both the NIOSH NOHS/NOES and the OSHA IMIS can have significant value for hazard surveillance that is designed both to establish priorities for various preventive strategies--including intervention, research, and planning--and to complement disease surveillance. These systems also have certain limitations that affect their overall value in these regards. We have proposed alternative hazard surveillance systems that would expand the database on actual exposures in the workplace by requiring that industry systematically conduct environmental monitoring for defined substances and then provide the data to OSHA and NIOSH for use in hazard surveillance.
我们已审查了可用于进行危害监测的现有数据源。美国国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）的《国家职业危害调查/国家职业暴露调查》（NOHS/NOES）和美国职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）的《综合管理信息系统》（IMIS）对于旨在确定各种预防策略（包括干预、研究和规划）的优先级以及补充疾病监测的危害监测都具有重要价值。这些系统在这些方面也存在某些限制，影响了它们的整体价值。我们提出了替代危害监测系统，该系统将通过要求行业系统地对特定物质进行环境监测，然后将数据提供给OSHA和NIOSH用于危害监测，从而扩大关于工作场所实际暴露情况的数据库。
