DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Center for Disease Control and Prevention
Meeting; National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the
following meeting.
Name: Developing a NIOSH Strategic Plan for Surveillance of
Occupational Diseases, Injuries, and Hazards.
Time and Date: 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m., July 29, 1999.
Place: Hubert H. Humphrey Building, 200 Independence Avenue, SW,
Washington, DC 20201.
Status: Open to the public, limited only by the space available.
The meeting room accommodates approximately 70 people. Seating will
be limited to approximately 50 people.
Purpose: The purpose of this meeting is to request public advice
in identifying gaps in the NIOSH's surveillance activities of
occupational diseases, injuries, and hazards.
NIOSH is developing a strategic plan to guide its surveillance
activities. NIOSH is one of several Federal agencies mandated to
contribute to the development of an effective national surveillance
system for occupational diseases, injuries, and hazards. Two
separate, but interrelated activities are underway. One is the
development of a NIOSH strategic plan for occupational disease and
injury surveillance of the nation's work force. The second one is
the development of a plan specific for the ongoing surveillance of
hazards in the workplace (prior similar efforts include the National
Occupational Hazard Survey [1972-74], the National Occupational
Exposure Survey [1981-83] and the National Occupational Hazard
Survey of Mining [1984-89]). To obtain input from occupational
health and safety practitioners, researchers, and interested
organizations, we plan to have a meeting where NIOSH will ask the
attendees for their views on what specific surveillance objectives
should be incorporated into the NIOSH Surveillance Strategic Plan.
Notice: In the interest of security, the Department has
instituted stringent procedures for entrance to the Hubert H.
Humphrey Building by non-government employees. Thus, persons without
a government identification card should plan to arrive at the
building each day either between 8 and 8:30 a.m. or 12:30 and 1 p.m.
so they can be escorted to the meeting. Entrance to the meeting at
other times during the day cannot be assured.
