Injury and Disability: Identification and Reduction
Abstract
Background. This effort was developed to support new initiatives within the Vulnerability Analysis Branch to enhance warfighter performance among all Airmen. Methods. Electronic data were utilized in epidemiological investigations to identify Airmen at increased risk for decreased warfighter performance. Results. Airmen consistently noted at increased risk included battlefield airmen and enlisted civil engineers. Conclusions. This project fulfilled stated objectives. The follow-on work unit will utilize workplace investigational techniques to identify specific workplace hazards and take a broader approach, engaging individuals with expertise in biomechanics and ergonomics to identify specific hazards and develop recommendations to improve warfighter performance.
