Certain industries experience a disproportionate risk of COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations, although the risk has changed over time. Between March 2020 and January 2021, the two industries with the highest monthly case rates were Health Care and Social Assistance and Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting. As of March 2021, rates among these two groups fell below the rates of nine other industries.

The goal of Washington's toxic inhalation injury surveillance system is to identify exposure trends that when addressed with prevention activities, may lead to a reduction in inhalation injury burden. We initiated surveillance with the primary goal of tracking eight priority exposures: ammonia, beryllium, carbon monoxide, chlorine, chromium, methylene chloride, welding fume, and wildland smoke. More »Beyond these eight exposures, additional claims filed for toxic inhalation were captured using highly-inclusive search criteria and initially categorized as “other”. The “other” cases were each manually reviewed to establish what chemical(s), product(s), or type of product that caused the toxic inhalation. By case count, “other” cases comprise the majority of the toxic inhalation exposures in our surveillance system. « Less

Washington's toxic inhalation surveillance system was established in January 2017 to characterize toxic inhalation exposures that may result in either acute injury or chronic disease. The sole data source for the surveillance system is the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) workers' compensation system. More »We describe toxic inhalation exposures as reported through workers' compensation claims, identify clusters of related exposures, and provide detailed data tables by industry and occupation. These results can be used by employers, trade associations, and public health entities interested in developing prevention activities. The goal of the surveillance system is to inform targeted prevention activities and reduce the burden of preventable toxic inhalation exposures. « Less
