This text shows step-by-step how to establish or improve a workplace health surveillance system. It explains how to define objectives, seek organizational support, form a surveillance workgroup, collect data, calculate basic injury and illness statistics, design databases, analyze and interpret surveillance data, set priorities, make protocols for follow-up and case management, market results and give feedback, and evaluate surveillance systems. Surveillance is shown to be an action-oriented tool for decision-making that is key to a successful health and safety program.
