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.

Book excerpt: After a series of studies found that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Survey of Occupational Injury and Illness (SOII) was undercounting injuries and illnesses at work, the BLS funded further research to explore these findings. These additional studies were conducted in Massachusetts, California and Washington and used varied methodologies. The overall conclusion, across the three jurisdictions and across methodologies, was that the SOII significantly undercounts - and therefore underestimates - the number of injuries, even when looking only at objectively verifiable and often serious injuries such as amputations. These findings were published together in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine in October 2014. This article, written as the introduction to this set of BLS-funded papers, explores the possible reasons for under reporting and the negative consequences that flow from unreliable data in this field. The authors note that the SOII relies on unaudited employer-reported data, and there are significant disincentives to report injuries and illnesses. Inappropriate pressure or fear of retaliation (particularly for workers), ignorance (on the part of health care providers and workers), disincentives for employers (including the possibility of increased regulatory oversight) all contribute to the problem. For a wide range of reasons, few occupational diseases are reported. Under reporting means that the magnitude of the public health and safety issues as well as the real economic and human costs of occupational morbidity and mortality are hidden from regulators, health care providers, employers, unions, workers and the public at large. The authors conclude by presenting several actions the BLS could take to ameliorate the problem of undercounting.

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.
