A surveillance system, capable of linking experience in specific jobs with certain health outcomes, has been established within the Australian petroleum industry. A defined population of 11 596 employees has been assembled, after personal interviews. Events recorded are death and its cause, and diagnosis of cancer. Members of the study population are followed up after leaving the industry. By the end of 1983, 33 deaths had occurred, fewer than would be expected from the prevailing rates in the general Australian population. With progressive accumulation of follow-up data, questions of greater complexity will be addressed.
澳大利亚石油行业已建立了一个监测系统，该系统能够将特定工作中的经历与某些健康结果联系起来。在进行个人访谈后，汇集了11596名特定员工群体。记录的事件包括死亡及其原因以及癌症诊断。研究人群中的成员在离开该行业后会接受随访。到1983年底，已发生33例死亡，低于澳大利亚普通人群的普遍死亡率预期。随着随访数据的逐步积累，将解决更复杂的问题。
