Proposed Project
Survey of Healthcare Workers’ Health
and Safety Practices—New—National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The mission of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is to promote safety and health
at work for all people through research
and prevention. Under Public Law 91–
596, Sections 20 and 22, Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970, NIOSH
has the responsibility to conduct
research to advance the health and
safety of workers. In this capacity,
NIOSH will conduct a Web-based
survey that will provide important
hazard and exposure surveillance data
that is currently unavailable for
healthcare workers.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 62 / Thursday, April 1, 2010 / Notices
Healthcare workers represent over 8%
of the U.S. workforce with many
occupations projected to substantially
grow in the next ten years. Healthcare
workers experience higher rates of
illness and injury as compared to
workers in other industries and are at
increased risk for many of the types of
adverse health effects potentially caused
by exposure to hazardous chemical
agents. The proposed hazard
surveillance survey will provide
important information on work
practices associated with the use of
important classes of hazardous chemical
agents including antineoplastic agents,
anesthetic gases, aerosolized
medications, chemical sterilants, high
level disinfectants and surgical smoke.
This voluntary survey is the first of its
kind by the Federal government. The
data collected will allow NIOSH to
describe the range of health and safety
practices and the types of exposure
controls used by healthcare workers by
hazard, occupation, and type and size of
work setting. The study population for
this survey includes members of 22
professional organizations who
represent healthcare workers in many
occupations which use or are exposed to
these chemical agents. Each of the 22
participating professional organizations
will be responsible for implementing
the sampling approach developed by
NIOSH and sending invitation and
reminder emails to sampled members.
The sample size for the survey is
estimated to be 25,650 healthcare
workers. NIOSH will use the data to
guide interventions and future research.
Participating professional organizations
plan to use the data for benchmarking,
identifying areas for expanding
guidelines and for health and safety
promotion.
The proposed survey is modular in
design and will be only available online. The survey includes a screening
module, separate chemical hazard
modules addressing the previously
mentioned hazardous chemical agents,
and a core module which gathers
information on a broad range of health
and safety issues affecting healthcare
workers. The web survey will present
the modules to respondents in a
seamless manner.
Depending on the size of the
participating professional organization,
all members or a random sample of
members will be sent an email by their
organization which will contain a link
to the survey. Initially, respondents will
complete a screening module which
will determine whether they are eligible
for the survey. The eligibility criteria is,

they must have used or have come in
contact with one or more of the
hazardous chemical agents within the
past week. If eligible, the respondent
would complete the appropriate hazard
module (e.g., oncology nurses would
complete hazard module on
administration of antineoplastic agents)
and the core module. A second hazard
module may also be completed if
additional chemical agents were used in
the past week. Respondents will not be
asked to report their names or any other
identifying information.
The project supports NIOSH’s
surveillance strategic goal which is to
advance the usefulness of surveillance
information for the prevention of
occupational illnesses, injuries and
hazards. Further, the goal seeks to
actively promote the dissemination and
use of NIOSH surveillance data and
information.
Once the study is completed, results
will be made available via various
means including the NIOSH Internet
site. NIOSH expects to complete data
collection no later than spring of 2011.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annual burden hours are 11,140.

Disaster case management is the
process of organizing and providing a

disaster-related needs including health
care, mental health and human services
needs that were caused or exacerbated
by the event and may adversely impact
an individual’s recovery if not
addressed. Disaster case management
facilitates the delivery of appropriate
resources and services, works with a
client to implement a recovery plan and
advocates for the client’s needs to assist
him/her in returning to a pre-disaster
