摘要

Underreporting of occupational injuries and illnesses is a major drawback within all industrial settings (Leigh, Mar-cin & Miller, 2004; Rosenmann, 2016). The U.S. House of Representatives (Miller, 2008) reports that up to 69% of all occupational injuries and illnesses never make it into existing reporting systems. [For a detailed discussion of issues in the construction sector, see Behm, Lingard & Bruening (2014), and Lipscomb, Nolan, Patterson, et al. (2013)]. In response to this phenomenon, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (2017) launched a study, Developing a Smarter National Surveillance System for Occupational Safety and Health in the 21st Century.It is evident by observing the recorded heat illness cases that there is underreporting of such cases in the U.S. In California, 34 cases were recorded during the period of investigation while the rest of the country recorded only 44 cases. It is surprising that other states (e.g., Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana) where heat and humidity would likely factor into substantially more reports of heat stress are reporting so few. This suggests that California implements a more robust reporting system and that other states should follow suit with similar measures especially for surveillance and reporting (State of California DIR, 2015). That said, heat-related illnesses not resulting in a fatality or hospitalization overall might be underre-ported because of the varied symptoms that make it difficult for such illnesses to be formally identified as an incident.
