Proposed Project
Survey of Musculoskeletal Disorders
Prevention Tools/Methods: 10-year
Follow-Up—New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, 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 (Section 20–22,
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 proposes to administer a survey
of ergonomics professionals as a 10-year
follow-up to a survey conducted of U.S.
Certified Professional Ergonomists
(CPEs) by Dempsey et al. and published
in 2005 (A survey of tools and methods
used by certified professional
ergonomists. Applied Ergonomics, 36,
489–503). NIOSH is requesting a one
year approval period for this data
collection.
The project is planned to extend the
original survey in two ways: (1) The
Since publication of the initial survey
findings there has been a proliferation of
smart phone/smart device-embedded
inertial and acceleration sensors and
related ‘‘apps’’ for human motion and
activity logging. Little is known about
the extent to which ergonomics
practitioners are using these newer
technologies towards assessing
workplace physical activity (and now,
workplace inactivity and
‘‘sedentarism’’) and other job demands.
Thus, the survey will provide a
contemporary perspective on the scope
of use of assessment tools and methods
by these professionals. This project will
involve the collection of non-sensitive
data via web-based survey questionnaire
methods. Survey data relate only to
respondents’ professional practice
within the OS&H discipline of
ergonomics and prevention of
musculoskeletal disorders.
Only certified ergonomics
professionals from five countries with
specific certification credentials will be
eligible and invited to participate. Their
participation will be voluntary. The
program has assumed an optimistic 80%
response rate to estimate the number of
respondents at 938 in the estimation of
annualized burden hours.
In summary, this study will update
information collected and published in
2005 on the methods and tools used by
practicing ergonomists. NIOSH expects
to complete data collection in 2017. The
total estimated burden hours is 469.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
sample will be broadened to include
international ergonomics practitioners
(in Canada, the United Kingdom, New
Zealand, and Australia), and, (2) the
queried tools and methods have been
updated to reflect new and emerging
technologies not included in the
original survey. The purpose of the
survey will be unchanged—to gather
information on the types of basic tools,
direct and observational measurement
techniques, and software used in the
field by ergonomics practitioners to
assess workplace risk factors for
musculoskeletal disorders and to
evaluate workplace interventions.
The motivation for the original 2005
survey was to better understand the
types of tools and methods practitioners
use, their opinions of these tools, and to
potentially gain an understanding of the
constraints or preferences that influence
this selection. At the time of the 2005
survey, there were many tools reported
in the literature, but little information
on the extent to which these different
tools were used by practitioners.
Similarly, there was little published
information on users’ experiences with
these different tools. There has been
considerable interest in the findings and
the Dempsey et al (2005) publication
has been widely cited. The program
anticipates that a follow-up effort will
result in even greater interest as changes
in the practice of ergonomics and
prevention of soft tissue MSDs can be
inferred from comparisons between the
two surveys time points.

ACTION: Notice of award of a SingleSource Award under the Competitive
Personal Responsibility Education
Program (Competitive PREP) to Healthy
Families of San Angelo (HFSA) in San
Angelo, Texas to support continued
participation in the federal PREP impact
evaluation.
AGENCY:
The Administration for

Services Bureau (FYSB), announces a
single-source award in the amount of
$750,000 to HFSA in San Angelo, TX for
the purpose of continued participation
in the federal impact evaluation. The
award allows sufficient time to
complete evaluation related activities of
the Steps to Success program. Steps to
Success is a comprehensive, culturally
appropriate intervention that seeks to
postpone subsequent pregnancies and
increase safe sex behaviors for high-risk
pregnant and parenting teens.
DATES: The period of support under this
single-source award is February 1, 2016,
through June 30, 2017.

HFSA was
selected as a site for the PREP federal
impact evaluation as a result of a strong
program design. The impact evaluation
addresses significant gaps in the teen
pregnancy prevention evidence base.
Currently, there is little rigorous
evidence on strategies effective in
reducing repeat pregnancies among
adolescent mothers. HFSA’s program
will help fill that gap due to its focus
on reducing subsequent pregnancies
and long acting reversible
contraception. If impacts are found, the
HFSA program can be added to the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services teen pregnancy evidence
review list. This award allows time for
evaluation activities to be completed
including the collection and analysis of
data.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Statutory Authority: Section 2953 of the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of
2010, Pub. L. 111–148, added Section 513 to
Title V of the Social Security Act, codified
at 42 U.S.C. 713, authorizing the Personal
