success of corrective actions at the site.

7. ANALYSES AND REPORTS

The IISP's various workforce health evaluations, periodic surveillance activities, and special

investigations involve the publication of numerous reports. Annual site-specific summary reports

present workforce demographics, summarize illness and injury health event absences, and present

rates of occurrence of selected diseases and injuries, both occupational and non-occupational, for an

individual site. Periodically the IISP also publishes rollup reports that emphasize the assessment of

broad trends and the overall experience of the DOE workforce at major categories of facilities, e.g.,

decommissioning and decontamination, research and development, and weapons facilities.

Additional reports address particular occupational groups or diagnosis categories of interest; recent

assessments have evaluated trends in hypertension and diabetes among DOE's aging workers.

Special topic reports can examine particular types of injury or illness or evaluate a broader spectrum

of health issues in a particular segment of the workforce, such as a particular occupational group,

age group, or gender. The IISP also supports special investigations initiated in response to worker

health concerns at a site, issues noted by site medical or safety personnel, or reviews undertaken in

response to management concerns. These investigations are summarized in final reports that are

made available on the program's internet home page upon release. In all cases, only summaries and

aggregate data are presented in IISP reports, ensuring the privacy of all workers employed at

participating sites.

The distribution of information from Illness and Injury Surveillance analyses targets a broad

audience, including workers and their organized labor management representatives; the

occupational medicine departments at DOE sites; Headquarters and site Environment, Safety and

Health management; and the Office of Illness and Injury Prevention Programs at DOE

Headquarters. Distribution takes the form of both hard copy and Internet publication, with

electronic notification to interested stakeholders when relevant reports are published on the Office

of Illness and Injury Prevention Programs Internet home page at
