Abstract: NIOSH proposes a revision to continue conducting a study in partnership with the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (OBWC) to assess the effectiveness of occupational safety and health interventions for musculoskeletal disorders. This revision will allow a previously approved data collection to be completed on currently participating employers/employees (using a previously approved protocol) and allow new employers/employees to be enrolled (using a modified protocol). The original protocol uses a randomized control design where 33 employers were matched based on the similarity of employee tasks, prior loss history, and the affected number of employees prior to the intervention being into place. The main outcomes are self-reported back and upper extremity pain among employees performing material handling operations. To complete the data collection on the 103 currently employees using the original protocol, 292 remaining surveys need to be completed, requiring 21 additional months. NIOSH is also requesting approval of a modified protocol moving forward to allow new employers and up to 200 employees to be enrolled for an additional 2 year study. The new study design still involves collecting symptoms at baseline before the intervention and after the intervention is put into place. However, the protocol is modified from the original data collection in that 1) all employers will now receive the intervention immediately, rather than half being randomly selected to receive the intervention six months later; 2) a low back functional assessment is no longer being conducted; and 3) the study population now includes employees performing material handling and patient handling tasks in all industries. These changes were necessary because the expansion of the OBWC intervention program inadvertently removed some incentives to participate in the original study. OBWC asked NIOSH to continue to measure the effectiveness of the program in terms of employee symptoms and other detailed measures because the new expansion gives the opportunity to increase the generalizability of study findings to a greater variety of industries, including health care, and tasks, including patient handling.
