Proposed Project
Assessment of Occupational Injury
among Fire Fighters Using a Followback Survey—New—National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Studies have reported that fire fighters
have high rates of non-fatal injuries and
illnesses as compared to the general
worker population. As fire fighters
undertake many critical public safety
activities and are tasked with protecting
the safety and health of the public, it
follows that understanding and
preventing injuries and exposures
among fire fighters will have a benefit
reaching beyond the workers to the
general public.
As mandated in the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L.
91–596), the mission of NIOSH is to
conduct research and investigations on
occupational safety and health. Related
to this mission, the purpose of this
project is to conduct research that will
provide a detailed description of nonfatal occupational injuries and
exposures incurred by fire fighters. This
information will offer detailed insight
into events that lead to the largest
number of nonfatal injuries and
exposures among fire fighters. The
project will use two related data
sources. The first source is data
abstracted from medical records of fire
fighters treated in a nationally stratified
sample of emergency departments.
These data are routinely collected
through the occupational supplement to
the National Electronic Injury
Surveillance System (NEISS-Work). The
second data source, for which NIOSH is
seeking OMB approval for three years, is
responses to telephone interview
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
surveys of the injured and exposed fire
fighters identified within NEISS-Work.
The proposed telephone interview
surveys will supplement NEISS-Work
data with an extensive description of
fire fighter injuries and exposures,
including worker characteristics, injury
types, injury circumstances, injury
outcomes, and use of personal
protective equipment. Previous reports
describing occupational injuries and
exposures to fire fighters provide
limited details on specific regions or
sub-segments of the population. As
compared to these earlier studies, the
scope of the telephone interview data
will be broader as it includes sampled
cases nationwide and has no limitations
in regards to type of employment (i.e.,
volunteer versus career). Results from
the telephone interviews will be
weighted and reported as national
estimates.
The sample size for the telephone
interview survey is estimated to be
approximately 240 fire fighters annually
for the proposed three year duration of
the study. This is based on the number
of fire fighters identified in previous
years of NEISS-Work data and a 30 to
40% response rate that is comparable to
the rate of previously conducted
National Electronic Injury Surveillance
System telephone interview studies.
Each telephone interview will take
approximately 30 minutes to complete,
resulting in an annualized burden
estimate of 120 hours. Using the routine
NEISS-Work data, an analysis of all
identified EMS workers will be
performed to determine if there are
differences between the telephone
interview responder and non-responder
groups.
The Division of Safety Research (DSR)
within NIOSH is conducting this
project. DSR has a strong interest in
improving surveillance of fire fighter
injuries and exposures to provide the
information necessary for effectively
targeting and implementing prevention
efforts and, consequently, reducing
occupational injuries and exposures to
fire fighters. The Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC) will also
contribute to this project, as they are
responsible for coordinating the
collection of all NEISS-Work data and
for overseeing the collection of all
telephone interview data. The estimated
annual Burden Hours are 120. There is
no cost to respondents other than their
time.

Proposed Project
Assessment of Occupational Injury among Fire Fighters Using a
Follow-back Survey--New--National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Studies have reported that fire fighters have high rates of non-
fatal injuries and illnesses as compared to the general worker
population. As fire fighters undertake many critical public safety
activities and are tasked with protecting the safety and health of the
public, it follows that understanding and preventing injuries and
exposures among fire fighters will have a benefit reaching beyond the
workers to the general public.
As mandated in the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub.
L. 91-596), the mission of NIOSH is to conduct research and
investigations on occupational safety and health. Related to this
mission, the purpose of this project is to conduct research that will
provide a detailed description of non-fatal occupational injuries and
exposures incurred by fire fighters. This information will offer
detailed insight into events that lead to the largest number of
nonfatal injuries and exposures among fire fighters. The project will
use two related data sources. The first source is data abstracted from
medical records of fire fighters treated in a nationally stratified
sample of emergency departments. These data are routinely collected
through the occupational supplement to the National Electronic Injury
Surveillance System (NEISS-Work). The second data source, for which
NIOSH is seeking OMB approval for three years, is responses to
telephone interview surveys of the injured and exposed fire fighters
identified within NEISS-Work.
The proposed telephone interview surveys will supplement NEISS-Work
data with an extensive description of fire fighter injuries and
exposures, including worker characteristics, injury types, injury
circumstances, injury outcomes, and use of personal protective
equipment. Previous reports describing occupational injuries and
exposures to fire fighters provide limited details on specific regions
or sub-segments of the population. As compared to these earlier
studies, the scope of the telephone interview data will be broader as
it includes sampled cases nationwide and has no limitations in regards
to type of employment (i.e., volunteer versus career). Results from the
telephone interviews will be weighted and reported as national
estimates.
The sample size for the telephone interview survey is estimated to
be approximately 240 fire fighters annually for the proposed three year
duration of the study. This is based on the number of fire fighters
identified in previous years of NEISS-Work data and a 30 to 40%
response rate that is comparable to the rate of previously conducted
National Electronic Injury Surveillance System telephone interview
studies. Each telephone interview will take approximately 30 minutes to
complete, resulting in an annualized burden estimate of 120 hours.
Using the routine NEISS-Work data, an analysis of all identified EMS
workers will be performed to determine if there are differences between
the telephone interview responder and non-responder groups.
