Injury surveillance by the Division of Safety Research in the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has the following two major purposes: the detection of significant changes in the status of worker safety to help define areas for research and the assessment of importance of various safety problems for priority setting in the Division. Surveillance of occupational injuries in recent years has realized a quantum improvement due to the availability of several extensive work-injury case data bases. The Division of Safety Research utilizes three of these to provide essentially independent sources of evidence for the identification and definition of problems for safety research. The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, based on daily reports from a representative sample of hospital emergency rooms across the nation, provides case data such as age and sex of the injured worker, injury diagnosis, and product involvement. The Supplementary Data System annually provides worker's compensation case files which include the occupation and industry of the injured worker from selected states. A third level of detail is provided by the work injury report surveys of injured workers, conducted annually, and focused on specific accident types of injury groups. Findings, include high-risk occupations, age groups, tools, and equipment.
发现工人安全状况的重大变化，以帮助确定研究领域；评估各种安全问题的重要性，以便在该部门确定优先事项。近年来，由于有了几个广泛的工伤案例数据库，职业伤害监测有了显著改善。安全研究部利用其中三个数据库，为安全研究问题的识别和定义提供基本独立的证据来源。国家电子伤害监测系统基于全国医院急诊室代表性样本的每日报告，提供诸如受伤工人的年龄和性别、伤害诊断以及产品相关情况等案例数据。补充数据系统每年提供工伤赔偿案例档案，其中包括来自选定州的受伤工人的职业和行业信息。每年对受伤工人进行的工伤报告调查提供了第三级详细信息，该调查聚焦于特定的事故类型或伤害群体。调查结果包括高风险职业、年龄组、工具和设备等。
