Speaker Notes:
OSHA case studies present detailed information about
an occupational safety or health problem or issue as it pertains to an
individual or group and how it is effectively remedied for them. The study
provides an in-depth description of the problem or issue being evaluated and
its solution. This information could include the circumstances under which it
is used, the characteristics of the people involved in it, and the nature of
the community in which it is located. It could also involve interpreting the
meaning of demographic, descriptive and statistical data such as cultural
norms, ingrained attitudes, motives, and injury and illness rates. A case study
is generally 2000 words long and may contain charts or graphics and provides
citations to facts, rules or principles asserted in the case study.
A success story is a shorter version of case study. A
success story specifically details a safety and health process or program that
an organization implemented in the workplace that led to improved safety and
health. It may include statistical information or measurable results that
demonstrate the impact of the process or program. OSHA has developed case
studies on several topics, including ergonomics, Hispanic outreach, and small
businesses.
