Survey Summary - Key Findings
The Department of Research & Statistical Services has launched a project intended
to examine the health and economic burden of off-the-job (OTJ) injury on American
businesses and workers. The ultimate goal is to provide employers with a set of
practical guidelines for injury surveillance and promoting off-the-job safety and
health in the workplace. (See
Off-the-Job Survey).
Mold in Indoor Environments
The most recent issue of Injury Insights features a review article
on research pertaining to mold and its health effects. The study, Mold in Indoor Environments: A Critical Review of Research Studies
(.pdf 78k), is based on a recently published review of the toxic effects of molds
associated with the production of mycotoxins and their negative health effects in
indoor environments. Headlines about "toxic molds" have elevated the level
of public concern. (Also see On the Shelf.)
