Title: Surveillance for Nonfatal Occupational Injuries Treated in Hospital Emergency Departments--United States, 1996
Abstract: CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) uses the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) for surveillance of nonfatal occupational injuries treated in hospital emergency departments (EDs). This report, based on 1996 NEISS data, is the first since 1983 to provide updated national estimates of the magnitude and risk for nonfatal occupational injuries treated in EDs; the findings indicate that the workers at highest risk are young and male.
