Abstract: The purpose of this project is to conduct research to provide a detailed description of non-fatal occupational injuries and illnesses incurred by emergency medical services (EMS) workers. This project will use two related data sources. The first source is data abstracted from medical records of EMS workers treated in a nationally stratified sample of emergency departments (ED). These data are routinely collected by the occupational supplement to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS-Work). The second data source, for which the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is seeking OMB approval, involves data collected from telephone interview surveys of injured EMS workers identified within NEISS-Work.

Short Statement: For this revision request, the data collected to-date were used to produce an updated estimate of the number of completed interviews to be obtained each year. The data collected thus far indicate we will collect approximately 150 interviews annually. This is a reduction from the previous estimate of 175 that was extrapolated based on routine NEISS-Work surveillance data from earlier years. This reduction resulted in a decrease in the respondent burden hours from 58 to 50.
