National Agriculture Statistics Service
Title: Childhood Injury and Adult Occupational Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0235.
Summary of Collection: Primary function of the National
Agricultural Statistics Services (NASS) is to prepare and issue state
and national estimates of crop and livestock production under the
authority of 7 U.S.C 2204(a). NASS has been asked by the National
Institute of Occupational Safety Health (NIOSH) to conduct a childhood
injury and adult occupational injury survey. Together the survey's are
designed to: (1) Provide estimates of childhood nonfatal injury
incidence rates, annual injury frequencies, and descriptive injury
information for children under the age of 20 living on, working on, or
visiting on farming operations in the U.S.; and (2) provide estimates
of the annual occupational adult nonfatal injury incidence rates,
annual occupational injury frequencies and descriptive injury
information for farm operators and their employees 20 years of age or
older.
Need and Use of the Information: Data from these survey's will
provide a source of consistent information that NIOSH can use to target
funds appropriated by Congress for the prevention of childhood
agricultural injuries and adult occupational injuries. No source of
data on childhood injuries or adult occupational farm injuries exists
that covers all aspects of the agricultural production sector.
Description of Respondents: Farms.
Number of Respondents: 25,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 7,667.
