Occupational Injury and Illness for Health Science Center Employees: Presenting Data in a Clear Manner to Management

Abstract

Occupational hazards to U.S. health sciences employees are outlined and discussed. Methods for analyses and presentations of when, where, and what groups of employees at a Southwestern state university health science center reporting job-related injuries during part of fiscal 1982 are set forth. The four tables and three figures included are examples of how to use data routinely kept, though often ignored, for creating information and displaying it to communicate quickly and effectively with management.
