Proposed Project
NIOSH Customer Satisfaction Survey--Reinstatement--National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, (NIOSH) Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC).
Background and brief description
The mission of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) is to promote safety and health at work for all people
through research and prevention. The Occupational Safety and Health
Act, Public Law 91-596 (section 20[a][1]) authorizes the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to conduct
research to advance the health and safety of workers. NIOSH conducted a
baseline survey in 2003 to assess customer satisfaction with NIOSH
communication products, services, and methods of dissemination [OMB
0920-0544 expired 03/31/2003]. The baseline survey established
an initial benchmark for gauging the effectiveness of NIOSH's
communication products, outreach services, and identified areas for
improvement.
NIOSH is conducting a follow-up Customer Satisfaction Survey of
occupational safety and health professionals. A mail survey is planned
with an option that will allow respondents to complete the survey
electronically. The current survey is a 5-year follow-up designed to
enable NIOSH to determine the current level of customer satisfaction
and identify changes that have occurred in the intervening years. The
purpose of this survey is to evaluate the effectiveness of NIOSH's
communication and dissemination program as a whole in serving the broad
occupational safety and health professional community by addressing
five questions:
(1) To what extent are NIOSH communication products viewed as
credible, useful sources of information on occupational safety and
health issues?
(2) To what extent has NIOSH been successful in distributing its
communication products to its primary and traditional audience?
(3) To what extent, and in what ways, have NIOSH communication
products influenced workplace safety and health program policies and
practices, or resolved other related issues?
(4) What improvements could be made in the nature of NIOSH
communication products and/or their manner of delivery that could
enhance their use and benefits?
(5) What is the reach and perceived importance of NIOSH outreach
initiatives?
The survey will be directed to the community of occupational safety
and health professionals, as this audience represents the primary and
traditional customer base for NIOSH information materials. For this
purpose four major associations identified with occupational safety and
health matters have indicated their willingness to partner with NIOSH
on this follow-up survey, as they did on the baseline. These are the
American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), the American College of
Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM), the American
Association of Occupational
[[Page 5660]]
Health Nurses (AAOHN), and the American Society of Safety Engineers
(ASSE). There is no cost to respondents. The estimated annualized
burden hours are 205.
