Book Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers

Download or read book Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-03-26 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirroring a worldwide phenomenon in industrialized nations, the U.S. is experiencing a change in its demographic structure known as population aging. Concern about the aging population tends to focus on the adequacy of Medicare and Social Security, retirement of older Americans, and the need to identify policies, programs, and strategies that address the health and safety needs of older workers. Older workers differ from their younger counterparts in a variety of physical, psychological, and social factors. Evaluating the extent, causes, and effects of these factors and improving the research and data systems necessary to address the health and safety needs of older workers may significantly impact both their ability to remain in the workforce and their well being in retirement. Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers provides an image of what is currently known about the health and safety needs of older workers and the research needed to encourage social polices that guarantee older workers a meaningful share of the nation's work opportunities.

Book The Economic Burden of Occupational Fatal Injuries to Civilian Workers in the United States Based on the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries  1992 2002

Download or read book The Economic Burden of Occupational Fatal Injuries to Civilian Workers in the United States Based on the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries 1992 2002 written by Department of Health and Human Services and published by . This book was released on 2014-02-16 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The national burden imposed by occupational injury and illness encompasses numerous areas of personal and public life: It deeply affects personal well-being, it affects relationships between workers, their families, and their communities, and it affects the institutions and governing bodies of this country. This burden includes a component that is vital to overall function and health at the national, local, and personal level—the economic component of loss. To more completely understand the burden imposed by injury and illness in the workplace, it is necessary to further develop measures of the economic component of loss. This document attempts to add an economic dimension to existing research efforts addressing the incidence and prevalence measures of loss associated with fatal occupational injury. This research effort is of long standing within the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and has been previously reported in such documents as The Cost of Fatal Injuries to Civilian Workers in the United States, 1992–2001, which is based on surveillance conducted within NIOSH and which draws on counts and information from the vital statistic reporting systems across the Nation. The current document builds on this research and incorporates new information and counts from current and revised methods regarding fatal occupational injury, which are described in greater detail within the text of this document. The findings are compelling: Over the period studied, 1992–2002, the costs from these premature deaths exceeded $53 billion, an amount greater than the reportable gross domestic product for some States. These findings inform national efforts to reduce this severe toll on our nation's workers, institutions, communities, and the nation itself. Researchers and concerned parties within the occupational and public health professions, academics, organizations focusing on workplace safety, labor unions, and the business community have all proven to be willing and avid users of this data and have used this research to continue their efforts, in concert with continuing NIOSH research efforts, to reduce the great toll that fatal occupational injuries impose on our workers, workplaces, and nation.

Book Costs of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses

Download or read book Costs of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses written by J. Paul Leigh and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the debate over health care reform continues, costs have become a critical measure in the many plans and proposals to come before us. Knowing costs is important because it allows comparisons across such disparate health conditions as AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, and cancer. This book presents the results of a major study estimating the large and largely overlooked costs of occupational injury and illness--costs as large as those for cancer and over four times the costs of AIDS. The incidence and mortality of occupational injury and illness were assessed by reviewing data from national surveys and applied an attributable-risk-proportion method. Costs were assessed using the human capital method that decomposes costs into direct categories such as medical costs and insurance administration expenses, as well as indirect categories such as lost earnings and lost fringe benefits. The total is estimated to be $155 billion and is likely to be low as it does not include costs associated with pain and suffering or of home care provided by family members. Invaluable as an aid in the analysis of policy issues, Costs of Occupational Injuryand Illness will serve as a resource and reference for economists, policy analysts, public health researchers, insurance administrators, labor unions and labor lawyers, benefits managers, and environmental scientists, among others.
