J Occup Environ Med
May 2024
From the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Introduction: Unidentified or nonmitigated occupational illnesses and injuries can complicate disease management. The "occupational health" (OCCHLTH) mnemonic aims to raise awareness of work-related exposures and associated illnesses and injuries.
Methods: Occupational safety and health history-taking elements were combined with peer-reviewed information [from the PubMed database (first review January 1, 2000, to February 8, 2016; updated to February 8, 2021)] about workplace exposure-outcome associations to create the mnemonic.

From the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Objective: This study's objective was to estimate hearing loss prevalence for noise-exposed US Utilities workers.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study of a retrospective cohort, audiograms were examined for 1.3 million workers (13,595 within utilities) from 2010-2019.

J Occup Environ Med
June 2023
From the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Morgantown, West Virginia.
Objective: To examine sharps injury (SI) rates among US workers treated in hospital emergency departments.
Methods: A national probability-based sample of approximately 67 US hospital emergency departments from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System-Occupational Supplement was used to examine annual national estimates of SI rates (number of injuries/10,000 full-time equivalents) for US workers from 2006 to 2020.
Results: Among the general US worker population, the 25- to 34-year age group experienced the highest annual SI rate.
The Role of Worker Age in Ohio Workers' Compensation Claims in the Landscaping Services Industry.
J Occup Environ Med
September 2022
From the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Division of Field Studies and Engineering, Cincinnati, Ohio (Dr Alexander, Dr Wurzelbacher, Ms Zeiler); Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, Strategy Division, Columbus, Ohio (Dr Naber); and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Division of Science Integration, Cincinnati, Ohio (Dr Kaur, Dr Grosch).
Objective: This study employed analysis of workers' compensation (WC) claims in the landscaping services industry to identify occupational factors associated with claims from workers of different ages.
Methods: Private sector claims for 2005 to 2017 to the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (OHBWC) and their free-text descriptions were used along with data from the US Census Bureau American Community Survey to examine rates and types of WC claims by worker age.
Results: Although the claim rate for younger workers was higher than that for older workers overall (593 vs 261 per 10,000 full-time equivalent employees, P < 0.
The Impact of a State-Based Workers' Compensation Insurer's Risk Control Services on Employer Claim Frequency and Cost Rates.
J Occup Environ Med
July 2022
From the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Cincinnati, Ohio (Dr Wurzelbacher, Dr Bertke, Dr Bushnell, and Dr Moore); Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, Columbus, Ohio (Mr Lampl, Mr Robins, and Dr Naber).
Objective: This study evaluated the impact of a state workers' compensation (WC) insurer's onsite risk control (RC) services on insured employers' WC claim frequency and cost.
Methods: We used two methods to model 2004 to 2017 claims data from 4606 employers that received RC visits over time and compare this claims experience to matching employers that did not receive RC services.
Results: Relative total WC claim rates increased slightly after RC services, while relative lost-time claims rates either remained similar or decreased and WC cost rates decreased.
Prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among US working adults aged 40 to 70 years. National Health Interview Survey data 2004 to 2011.
J Occup Environ Med
October 2014
From the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (Drs Doney, Hnizdo, Syamlal, Kullman, and Burchfiel); West Virginia University (Dr Martin), Morgantown; and National Institutes of Health (Dr Mujuru), Bethesda, Md.

Methods: The 2004 to 2011 National Health Interview Survey data for working adults 40 to 70 years old was analyzed to estimate the prevalence of COPD by major occupational groups. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations between COPD (chronic bronchitis or emphysema) and occupations.
