OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SAFETY NETWORK (OHSN)
The OHSN is a new voluntary and secure electronic occupational safety and health surveillance system being developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The first version of OHSN is limited to the healthcare sector (Healthcare Sector Component), but we envision that OHSN will be expanded to other industry sectors in the future. The OHSN Healthcare Sector Component focuses on non-infectious occupational safety and health issues among healthcare personnel (HCP), starting with a HCP Traumatic Injury Module.
Purposes of OHSN:
- Serve as a surveillance resource for U.S. workplaces
- Analyze and report workplace-specific and aggregated data to illustrate the magnitude of injury and illness events among workers and to monitor trends in these events
Benefits to Workplaces Participating in OHSN:
- Ability to benchmark a workplace’s internal rates and trends against aggregate data from similar workplaces
- Ability to assess the impact of prevention efforts on occupational health and safety over time
