NIOSH develops occupational health safety network (OHSN)
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is developing a new voluntary and secure electronic occupational safety and health surveillance system that will help keep track of workplace data.
The first version of OHSN is limited to the healthcare sector (Healthcare Sector Component), but NIOSH says 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.
