Meeting; National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

    The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 
of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
following meeting.

    Name: Developing a NIOSH Strategic Plan for Surveillance of 
Occupational Diseases, Injuries, and Hazards.
    Time and Date: 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m., July 29, 1999.
    Place: Hubert H. Humphrey Building, 200 Independence Avenue, SW, 
Washington, DC 20201.
    Status: Open to the public, limited only by the space available. 
The meeting room accommodates approximately 70 people. Seating will 
be limited to approximately 50 people.
    Purpose: The purpose of this meeting is to request public advice 
in identifying gaps in the NIOSH's surveillance activities of 
occupational diseases, injuries, and hazards.
    NIOSH is developing a strategic plan to guide its surveillance 
activities. NIOSH is one of several Federal agencies mandated to 
contribute to the development of an effective national surveillance 
system for occupational diseases, injuries, and hazards. Two 
separate, but interrelated activities are underway. One is the 
development of a NIOSH strategic plan for occupational disease and 
injury surveillance of the nation's work force. The second one is 
the development of a plan specific for the ongoing surveillance of 
hazards in the workplace (prior similar efforts include the National 
Occupational Hazard Survey [1972-74], the National Occupational 
Exposure Survey [1981-83] and the National Occupational Hazard 
Survey of Mining [1984-89]). To obtain input from occupational 
health and safety practitioners, researchers, and interested 
organizations, we plan to have a meeting where NIOSH will ask the 
attendees for their views on what specific surveillance objectives 
should be incorporated into the NIOSH Surveillance Strategic Plan.
    Notice: In the interest of security, the Department has 
instituted stringent procedures for entrance to the Hubert H. 
Humphrey Building by non-government employees. Thus, persons without 
a government identification card should plan to arrive at the 
building each day either between 8 and 8:30 a.m. or 12:30 and 1 p.m. 
so they can be escorted to the meeting. Entrance to the meeting at 
other times during the day cannot be assured.
