Background

The Occupational Safety and Health Data Collection and Injury Prevention (OSHDCIP) Work Group was convened by the Department of Labor under 2003 Public Law chapter 471. The purpose of the Work Group is to evaluate the data currently available on work-related injuries and illnesses and to review efforts to prevent such injuries and illnesses. The Group is to identify ways to improve the collection and analysis of the data and to enhance related prevention efforts. The Group is required to make at least two reports to the Governor and to the Legislature's Labor and Insurance and Financial Services Committees. The reports are due by January 1, 2005 and January 1, 2006. The members were chosen to be broadly representative of those with interests and expertise in occupational safety and health and workers' compensation.
