implemented by employers and employees. Where those mechanisms for improve-
ment have been undertaken, the logic model calls for evaluation of the impact
and feedback to NIOSH staff to determine whether the changes have filled the
knowledge gaps and reduced mortality, morbidity, or injuries associated with the
workplace and the populations at risk.
An excellent example from the evidence package is the safety inspection and
training associated with the fisheries program, in which the application of all three
mechanisms to the fisheries industry led to a substantial reduction in boating
accidents and loss of fishermen. Another excellent example of such a logic model is
exhibited in the Pacific Northwest Agricultural Safety and Health (PNASH) Center
report (Figure 8-2), which incorporates all the elements of inputs from diverse
FIGURE 8-2 The PNASH Center partnership model.
