Abstract: This is a new information collection request (ICR) from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This ICR is to conduct a survey of U.S. land-based oil and gas extraction workers to provide current occupational safety and health data, which are not available elsewhere. Survey results will help to determine factors that contribute to injury and illness in this workforce. Second, it will help to identify the perceived safety and health needs and concerns of oil and gas extraction workers, a largely non-unionized workforce.
