NIOSH Provides Occupational Health Data to State Agencies With SAS to Augment Research
Overview State agencies in charge of monitoring the well-being of workers once faced the daunting challenge of manually sifting through U.S. Census data and county death certificates to determine if, for example, coal miners were indeed at greater risk for respiratory ailments than, say, office workers. Such associations and determinations enable them to establish policies to protect workers while ensuring that they can continue to go about their jobs. Using SAS, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has created a Web-based, automated reporting system to assist the states in monitoring the health and well-being of their citizens. Known as National Occupational Respiratory Mortality System (NORMS), the reporting system is a data storage and interactive data-retrieval system developed and maintained by NIOSH.
