Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 59 / Monday, March 28, 2016 / Notices
when asthma programs embark on
asthma activities similar to those done
elsewhere.
In the past three-years, AIRS data
were used to:
• Serve as a resource to NCEH when
addressing congressional, departmental
and institutional inquiries.
• Help the branch align its current
interventions with CDC goals and
allowed the monitoring of progress
toward these goals.
• Allow the NACP and the state
asthma programs to make more
informed decisions about activities to
achieve objectives.
• Facilitate communication about
interventions across states, and enable
inquiries regarding interventions by
populations with a disproportionate
burden, age groups, geographic areas
and other variables of interest.
A revision to this data collection is
necessary because: (1) The web-based
reporting platform is no longer
supported by CDC; (2) in collaboration
with state asthma programs, reporting
requirements have been prioritized to
provide specific information on the two
main strategies in the associated
Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA): Services and health systems
strategies; (3) CDC now endorses
limiting state program reporting to once
a year; and (4) the number of state
awardees has been reduced from 34 to
23 states.
There will be no cost for respondents
other than their time to complete the
three AIRS spreadsheets annually. The
estimated annualized burden hours are
82.

Background and Brief Description
Healthcare in the United States is a
growing industry that employs more
than 19 million workers with a
substantial burden of occupational
injuries and illnesses. In 2013, one in
five workers in the healthcare and social
assistance industry reported a nonfatal
job-related injury. This is the highest
number of non-fatal injuries reported
among all private industries.
U.S. healthcare facilities depend on
surveillance data to track the incidence
of injuries, identify risk factors, target
prevention activities and evaluate
interventions to reduce the occurrence
of occupational injury among healthcare
personnel. In 2012, to assist healthcare
facilities to enhance capacity to use
existing surveillance data, the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) launched the
Occupational Health Safety Network
(OHSN), a voluntary surveillance
system developed specifically for
healthcare personnel environment.
OHSN is a free, and secure electronic
occupational safety and health
surveillance system that has provided
U.S. healthcare facilities the ability to
efficiently analyze their own
occupational injury data while, at the
same time, serving as a source for
national surveillance by sharing their
de-identified injury data with NIOSH.
Unlike other national occupational
surveillance systems, OHSN offers
integrated approach to monitor standard
occupational injuries among facilitybased healthcare personnel in the U.S.

and to provide timely, facility-level
feedback to participants with
benchmarking and analyses capabilities.
OHSN collects two types of data from
participating facilities. Facilities collect
these data to meet specific regulatory or
administrative requirements. Thus, no
new data collection is required.
Participating facilities provides OHSN—
(1) a onetime enrollment form, requests
information of the participating facility
and is publically available information
from American Hospital Association
database; and (2) a monthly submission
of occupational injury data collected in
the previous month. These data are sent
to OHSN via a web portal in a format
using standardized data elements and
value sets. No personal identifiable
information is transmitted to OHSN.
Data elements include: Injury time,
location and surrounding circumstances
of each injury event.
Healthcare facilities download data
through an OHSN-provided data
conversion and mapping tools to upload
the monthly occupational injury data.
Each participating facilities has access
to OHSN web portal, facilities are able
to analyze workers current and
historical worker injury data to
benchmark their internal injury rates
and trends against aggregate data from
similar workplaces. In addition they are
able to assess the impact of prevention
efforts on occupational health and safety
over time using integrated data analysis
and visualization tools (charts and
graphs).
OHSN currently tracks three common,
serious, and preventable categories of
traumatic injury to healthcare
personnel: Slips, trips and falls;
musculoskeletal disorders resulting
from patient handling and movement
events; and workplace violence. OHSN
will add new modules about exposure
to sharps injury and blood and body
fluids exposures.
NIOSH analyzes the data submitted to
OHSN to conduct surveillance and to
produce periodic aggregate reports on
the occurrence of and risk factors for
occupational injuries among all OHSN
facilities.
OHSN has been operating
continuously and receiving voluntary
monthly reports from 116 participating
facilities since 2012 and is projected to
enroll total of 900 facilities in the next
three years. Current burden estimates
were derived using the estimated
number of facilities participating in
OHSN for each facility type and form.
OSHA reporting mandates were taken
into account when estimating the
number of facilities (participants) and
the annual number of responses per
facility. Total burden hours for this
request is 185.
NIOSH seeks approval for an OMB
control number to continue this
important work. There is no cost to the
respondents other than their time.
