techniques, and approaches dealing
with occupational safety and health
problems.
This research relates to the interplay
of personal, organizational, and cultural
influences on risk-taking and proactive
decision-making behaviors among mine
workers. The antecedents, or
characteristics, that impact these
behaviors are not well understood in
mining. Understanding the degree to
which antecedents influence decisions
can inform the focus of future health
and safety management interventions.
NIOSH proposes a project that seeks
to empirically understand the following:
What are the most important
organizational antecedent
characteristics needed to support
worker health and safety (H&S)
performance behaviors in the mining
industry?
What are the most important personal
antecedent characteristics needed to
support worker health and safety (H&S)
performance behaviors in the mining
industry?
To answer the above questions,
NIOSH researchers developed a
psychometrically supported survey.
Researchers identified seven worker
perception-based ‘organizational values’
and four ‘personal characteristics’ that
are presumed to be important in
fostering H&S knowledge, motivation,
proactive behaviors, and safety
outcomes. Because these emergent,
worker perception-based constructs
have a theoretical and empirical history,
psychometrically tested items exist for
each of them.
NIOSH researchers will administer
this survey at mine sites to as many
participating mine workers as possible
to answer the research questions. Upon
data collection and analysis NIOSH
researchers will revalidate each scale to
ensure that measurement is valid. A
quantitative approach, via a short
survey, allows for prioritization, based
on statistical significance, of the
antecedents that have the most critical
influence on proactive behaviors. Data
collection will take place with
approximately 1,200 mine workers over
three years. The respondents targeted
for this study include any active mine
worker at a mine site, both surface and
underground. All participants will be
between the ages of 18 and 75, currently
employed, and living in the United
States. Participation will require no
more than 20 minutes of workers’ time
(5 minutes for consent and 15 minutes
for the survey). There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
Upon collection of the data, it will be
used to answer what organizational/
personal characteristics have the biggest
impact on proactive and compliant
health and safety behaviors. Dominance
and relative weights analysis will be
used as the data analysis method to
statistically rank order the importance
of predictors in numerous regression
contexts. Safety proactive and safety
compliance will serve as the dependent
variables in these regression analyses,
with the organizational and personal
characteristics as independent variables.
Findings will be used to improve the
safety and health organizational values
and focus of mine organizations, as
executed through their health and safety
management system for mitigating
health and safety risks at their mine site.
Specifically, if organizations are lacking
in values that are of high importance
among employees, site leadership
knows where to focus new, innovative
methods, techniques, and approaches to
dealing with their occupational safety
and health problems. Finally, the data
can be directly compared to data from
other mine organizations that
administered the same standardized
methods to provide broader context for
areas in which the mining industry can
focus more attention if trying to
encourage safer work behavior.

Proposed Project
National Disease Surveillance
Program III—CDC Support for Case
Investigation, Contact Tracing, and Case
Reports—New—National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The international outbreak of Ebola
virus disease (EVD) in West Africa
began March 10, 2014. The initial cases
were from southern Guinea, near its
rural border with Liberia and Sierra
Leone. Highly mobile populations
contributed to increasing waves of
person-to-person transmission of EVD
that occurred in multiple countries in
West Africa. The CDC activated its
Emergency Operations Center on July 9,
information collection request to initiate
multiple urgently needed information
collections in West Africa, at U.S. ports
of entry, and within STL jurisdictions.
These information collections allowed
the agency to accomplish its primary
mission on many fronts to quickly
prevent public harm, illness, and death
from the uncontrolled spread of EVD.
This new collection of information is
designed to allow CDC to conduct active
disease surveillance in support of and at
the request of STL authorities among
respondents that may include the
general public, workers, and STL
authorities. This should cut down on
the need for multiple steps in
emergency requests that were
experienced in the first year of the 2014
Ebola virus response.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
annualized burden requested is 14,702
hours.
2014 to help coordinate technical
assistance and control activities with
international partners and to deploy
teams of public health experts to the
affected countries.
The operations turned to the United
States (U.S.) when the first imported
case of EVD was diagnosed in Texas on
September 30, 2014. In response, on
October 11, 2014, the CDC Quarantine
Stations and the Department of
Homeland Security Customs and Border
Patrol mobilized to screen, detect, and
refer arriving travelers who were
potential persons at risk for EVD to
appropriate state, territorial, and local
(STL) authorities. The CDC also
increased its commitment to support
STL public health authorities to combat
and control the spread of EVD within
their jurisdictions.
Thus in 2014, the CDC requested and
received an expedited emergency
review and approval from OMB of an
