Indicators for surveillance of occupational disease
The aims of this project are:
- Review of the literature on occupational health surveillance.
- Development of a robust set of indicators feasible and valid for the monitoring of occupational disease in New Zealand.
- Development of a concept-driven occupational disease surveillance system based on existing data sets to describe the trends and prevalence of occupational disease in New Zealand.
- Testing of the surveillance system with one long latency disease (cancer) and two shorter latency diseases (asthma and dermatitis).
