Abstract The Environmental & Occupational Epidemiology (EOE) section of the Oregon Public Health Division, Department of Human Services (OPHD, DHS) received funds between September 30, 2004 and February 28, 2006 to examine and reduce the rate of occupational burns, dermatitis, and acute pesticide poisonings in the State of Oregon. During the project period, EOE collected data from numerous surveillance partners about workrelated burn injuries, dermatitis, and acute pesticide poisonings. Burn and dermatitis data was received from Oregon Workers Compensation (OWC) and a Private Workers Compensation (PWC) insurance company. Additional burn injury data was received from the Oregon Burn Center (OBC) and additional dermatitis data was received from the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Contact Dermatitis Clinic. Acute, pesticide poisoning data was received from the Oregon Poison Center (OPC), the Pesticide Analytical Response Center (PARC), local county health departments, affected individuals, employers, and witnesses. The data for all three injuries/illnesses was analyzed to identify patterns of illnesses/injuries among industries, occupations, and other groups.
