Proposed Project
National Occupational Safety and
Health Professional Workforce
Assessment: Employer and Education
Provider Survey Data Collection—
New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The mission of the NIOSH is to
generate new knowledge in the field of
occupational safety and health (OS&H)
and to transfer that knowledge into
practice for the betterment of workers.
Developing and supporting a new
generation of practitioners is critical to
the future of occupational safety and
health. As part of its mission to increase
safety and protect worker health, NIOSH
funds programs to support occupational

safety and health education through 17
regional university-based Education and
Research Centers and 31 Training
Project grants that train occupational
safety and health professionals to meet
the increasing demand for these
professionals.
Because of this central role NIOSH
plays in the education and training of
OS&H workers and because of the
continually changing nature of the
workplace, over the last 38 years NIOSH
has sponsored 3 OS&H workforce
assessments. These were conducted in
1977 and 1985 by NIOSH; and in 2000
the Institute of Medicine conducted a
workforce assessment at NIOSH’s
request. NIOSH is planning to perform
another assessment to examine the
current and anticipated future
professional OS&H workforce. The
assessment will attempt to collect
information from two groups—
employers of OS&H professionals and
providers of training programs for OS&H
professionals.
The information collected from
employers will concern the current
supply and future demand for OS&H
professionals; and the desired
professional competencies (i.e.,
knowledge, skills, and abilities)
required for the coming decade.
To ensure that the overall proposed
methodology for collecting information
from employers is successful in
collecting the information required, we
will conduct a phase I study with a
small group of employers. Should any
needed methodological changes be
identified, NIOSH will submit a request
for modification to OMB. If no
substantive methodological changes are
required, the phase II study will proceed
and the phase I data will be included in
the phase II study data set. It is expected
that approximately 744 employers will
have to be screened in Phase I and 6,681
in Phase II to yield approximately 400
employer responses (40 in the employer
phase I, 360 in the employer phase II
study).
The initial step in the study of
employers will be to sample the total
number of establishments needed for
screening. The phase I portion of
employers then will be conducted using
approximately 744 of the establishments
sampled and the following
methodology:
• A telephone screening to identify
employers of OS&H professionals will
be conducted. During the screening to
identify employers of OS&H
professionals, we will also obtain
contact information for the most
appropriate respondent. It is expected
that the appropriate respondent will be

58632

the Human Resources Administrator for
the employer.
• A letter describing the study will be
mailed to all eligible phase I
establishments inviting them to
participate, and providing Web access
information.
• Data collection then will be
primarily by web questionnaire. After
two weeks, all non-respondents will
receive a special delivery service
envelope containing another copy of the
invitation letter. Two weeks later,
telephone contact with non-respondents
will begin. Up to 7 attempts to contact
400 educational providers identified
and listed as part of this effort. There
will be no sampling or screening
activities. The information collected
will be similar to that collected from
employers. Beginning with the
invitation letter, the data collection
methodology for educational providers
will be identical to that of the phase II
study of the employers. We expect 180
educational providers to respond to
either the Web or telephone
questionnaire.
There is no cost to any respondents
other than their time.
each potential respondent by telephone
will be made. (When contact is made,
respondents will be encouraged to
complete the questionnaire on the Web
or by telephone at that time.)
Assuming no methodological changes
result from the phase I study, the phase
II employer study then will begin with
telephone screening of an additional
6,681 establishments. The data
collection methodology will be identical
to that described for the phase I study
of employers.
The study of educational providers
will be a census of the approximately
