Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Written comments should

Proposed Project
Developing a Baseline of
Occupational Safety and Health
Communication Provided by Trade
Associations and Labor Unions to Their
Members in Eight Industrial SectorsNew-National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
As mandated in the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (PL 91–
596), the mission of NIOSH is to
conduct research and investigations on
work-related disease and injury and to
disseminate information for preventing
identified workplace hazards (Sections
20(a) (1) and (d)). Through the
development, organization, and
dissemination of information, NIOSH
promotes awareness about occupational
hazards and their control, and improves
the quality of American working life.
Previous research has shown that
trade associations and labor unions are
primary sources of occupational safety
and health (OSH) information. These
organizations know the industries they
represent and how to relate to the
various groups within their respective
industries. If NIOSH could learn more
about the OSH-related activities of these
organizations, it would be a first step in
routinely partnering with them to
communicate information which
impacts worker safety and health. For
example, through these organizations
NIOSH could learn about unmet
occupational safety and health
information needs in industry and
develop information and
communication products to address
these needs. Furthermore, with more
focused information on the safety and
health issues, NIOSH would be in a
better position to develop impact
communication products to serve this
community.

NIOSH proposes to obtain OSH
information from trade associations and
labor unions that represent each of the
eight NIOSH National Occupational
Research Agenda (NORA) industry
sectors. These sectors are Agriculture,
Forestry, and Fishing; Mining;
Construction; Manufacturing; Wholesale
and Retail Trade; Transportation and
Utilities; Public and Private Services;
and Healthcare and Social Assistance
Industries. The goals of this project are
to determine (1) sources of occupational
safety and health (OSH) information
currently used by the different sector
trade associations and labor unions, (2)
OSH information presently being
disseminated by these different trade
associations and labor unions to their
members, (3) channels of
communication within the different
sector associations and unions used to
disseminate OSH information, (4) needs
for specific types of OSH information,
especially those needs not presently
being serviced, (5) OSH concerns of
industry trade associations and labor
unions, (6) awareness and perception of
NIOSH as a source of OSH information,
(7) use of NIOSH information services
(Website, printed materials, 800
number, etc.), (8) usefulness of NIOSH
information to address their OSH
concerns and (9) credibility of NIOSH as
a trusted source of occupational safety
and health information. The ultimate
desired outcome of this project is to
reduce illness and injury for workers on
jobs and tasks which pose high risks.
Occupational Safety and Health
information will be collected from a
sample of trade associations and labor
unions for each of the NORA industry
sectors using a telephone survey. The
data collection will be conducted over
three years.
To facilitate the survey, NIOSH will
interact with trade association and labor
organization staff within the industry
sectors to ensure that (1) the survey
questions developed appropriately
capture the needed information, (2) the
survey is well received and (3) that the
data obtained is representative of the
full range of occupations within the
targeted industry sectors. These
interactions will be structured to foster
professional relationships that will
improve NIOSH’s future communication
and information dissemination efforts to
these important partners. The process of
interacting and surveying the trade
associations and labor unions will allow
NIOSH to develop a benchmark against
which future efforts in partnership and
communication can be measured.

cooperation and trust between NIOSH
and trade and labor groups for the
future. There is no cost to respondents
for participation in the survey except
other than their time.
