Proposed Project Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) Intervention Effectiveness in Wholesale/ Retail Trade Operations–New—National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description For the current study, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (OBWC) will collaborate on a multi-site intervention study at OBWC-insured wholesale/retail trade (WRT) companies from 2011– 2014. In overview, MSD engineering control interventions [stair-climbing, powered hand trucks (PHT) and powered truck lift gates (TLG)] will be tested for effectiveness in reducing selfreported back and upper extremity pain among 960 employees performing delivery operations in 72 WRT establishments using a prospective experimental design (multiple baselines across groups with randomization). The costs of the interventions will be funded through existing OBWC funds and participating establishments. This study will provide important information that is not currently available elsewhere on the effectiveness of OSH interventions for WRT workers. Twenty-four OBWC-insured WRT establishments will be recruited from each of three total employee categories (<20 employees, 20–99 employees, and 100+ employees) for a total of 72 establishments with 3,240 employees. The study sub-sample (people, work groups or workplaces chosen from the sampling frame) will be volunteer employees at OBWC-insured WRT establishments who perform material handling tasks related to the delivery operations of large items (such as appliances, furniture, vending machines, furnaces, or water heaters) that are expected to be impacted by the powered hand truck (PHT) and truck lift gate (TLG) interventions. It is estimated that there will be 960 impacted employees in the recruited establishments, which will be paired according to previous WC loss history and establishment size. Within each pair, one establishment will be randomly chosen to receive the PHT or TLG intervention in the first phase, and the other will serve as a matched control until it receives the same intervention 12 months later. The main outcomes for this study are self-reported low back pain and upper extremity pain collected using surveys every three months over a two-year period from volunteer WRT delivery workers at participating establishments. Individuals will also be asked to report usage of the interventions and material handling exposures every three months over two years. Individuals will also be asked to complete an annual health assessment survey at baseline, and once annually for two years. A 20% sample of survey participants will also be asked to participate in a clinical assessment of low back function at baseline, and once annually for two years. In order to maximize efficiency and reduce burden, a Web-based survey is proposed for the majority (95%) of survey data collection. All collected information will be used to determine whether there are significant differences in reported musculoskeletal pain and functional back pain score ratios (pre/post intervention scores) when intervention and control groups are compared, while controlling for covariates. Once the study is completed, results will be made available through the NIOSH Internet site and peer-reviewed publications. In summary, this study will determine the effectiveness of the tested MSD interventions for WRT delivery workers and enable evidence based prevention practices to be shared with the greatest audience possible. NIOSH expects to complete data collection in 2014. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 3,001.

Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the extent and nature of illness and disability of the population of the United States. The annual National Health Interview Survey is a major source of general statistics on the health of the U.S. population and has been in the field continuously since 1957. Clearance is sought for three years, to collect data for 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 and to increase the sample size for 2011, 2012, and 2013. This voluntary householdbased survey collects demographic and health-related information on a nationally representative sample of persons and households throughout the country. Information is collected using computer assisted personal interviews (CAPI). A core set of data is collected each year while sponsored supplements vary from year to year. For 2011, the sample size is proposed to increase from an estimated 35,000 households to an estimated 40,000 households to provide more state-level estimates. The sample size is expected to be further increased to approximately 67,000 households for 2012 and 2013. In accordance with the 1995 initiative to increase the integration of surveys within the Department of Health and Human Services, respondents to the NHIS serve as the sampling frame for the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The NHIS has long been used by government, university, and private researchers to evaluate both general health and specific issues, such as cancer, diabetes, and access to health care. It is a leading source of data for the Congressionallymandated ‘‘Health US’’ and related publications, as well as the single most important source of statistics to track progress toward the National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. As shown below, with the increased sample size, the estimated overall average annual burden for the 2011, 2012, and 2013 surveys is 55,343 hours.

Proposed Project



    Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) Intervention Effectiveness in 

Wholesale/Retail Trade Operations-New--National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC).



Background and Brief Description



    For the current study, the National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation 

(OBWC) will collaborate on a multi-site intervention study at OBWC-

insured wholesale/retail trade (WRT) companies from 2011-2014. In 

overview, MSD engineering control interventions [stair-climbing, 

powered hand trucks (PHT) and powered truck lift gates (TLG)] will be 

tested for effectiveness in reducing self-reported back and upper 

extremity pain among 960 employees performing delivery operations in 72 

WRT establishments using a prospective experimental design (multiple 

baselines across groups with randomization). The costs of the 

interventions will be funded through existing OBWC funds and 

participating establishments. This study will provide important 

information that is not currently available elsewhere on the 

effectiveness of OSH interventions for WRT workers.

    Twenty-four OBWC-insured WRT establishments will be recruited from 

each of three total employee categories (<20 employees, 20-99 

employees, and 100+ employees) for a total of 72 establishments with 

3,240 employees. The study sub-sample (people, work groups or 

workplaces chosen from the sampling frame) will be volunteer employees 

at OBWC-insured WRT establishments who perform material handling tasks 

related to the delivery operations of large items (such as appliances, 

furniture, vending machines, furnaces, or water heaters) that are 

expected to be impacted by the powered hand truck (PHT) and truck lift 

gate (TLG) interventions. It is estimated that there will be 960 

impacted employees in the recruited establishments, which will be 

paired according to previous WC loss history and establishment size. 

Within each pair, one establishment will be randomly chosen to receive 

the PHT or TLG intervention in the first phase, and the other will 

serve as a matched control until it receives the same intervention 12 

months later.

    The main outcomes for this study are self-reported low back pain 

and upper extremity pain collected using surveys every three months 

over a two-year period from volunteer WRT delivery workers at 

participating establishments. Individuals will also be asked to report 

usage of the interventions and material handling exposures every three 

months over two years. Individuals will also be asked to complete an 

annual health assessment survey at baseline, and once annually for two 

years. A 20% sample of survey participants will also be asked to 

participate in a clinical assessment of low back function at baseline, 

and once annually for two years. In order to maximize efficiency and 

reduce burden, a Web-based survey is proposed for the majority (95%) of 

survey data collection. All collected information will be used to 

determine whether there are significant differences in reported 

musculoskeletal pain and functional back pain score ratios (pre/post 

intervention scores) when intervention and control groups are compared, 

while controlling for covariates. Once the study is completed, results 

will be made available through the NIOSH Internet site and peer-

reviewed publications.

    In summary, this study will determine the effectiveness of the 

tested MSD interventions for WRT delivery workers and enable evidence 

based prevention practices to be shared with the greatest audience 

possible. NIOSH expects to complete data collection in 2014. There is 

no cost to respondents other than their time. The total estimated 

annual burden hours are 3,001.
