The International Standard Classification of Occupations 2008 (ISCO-08) is a four-level hierarchically structured classification that covers all jobs in the world. Developed with the benefit of accumulated national and international experience as well as the help of experts from many countries and agencies, ISCO-08 is fully supported by the international community as an accepted standard for international labour statistics. ISCO-08 classifies jobs into 436 unit groups. These unit groups are aggregated into 130 minor groups, 43 sub-major groups and 10 major groups, based on their similarity in terms of the skill level and skill specialisation required for the jobs. This allows the production of relatively detailed internationally comparable data as well as summary information for only 10 groups at the highest level of aggregation. Each group in the classification is designated by a title and code number and is associated with a definition that specifies the scope of the group. The classification is divided into two volumes: Volume I presents the structure and definitions of all groups in ISCO-08 and their correspondence with ISCO-88, which it supersedes, while Volume II provides an updated and expanded index of occupational titles and associated ISCO-08 and ISCO-88 codes.

Determines the extent to which gov¿t. programs and reg¿s. protect farm workers from unnecessary occup¿l exposure to pesticides (OEP). Examines what mechanisms exist at the fed. and state levels to determine the nature and extent of illnesses assoc. with OEP on farms. The following questions were used: What monitoring systems (MS) and other data sources provide info. on pesticide-related illnesses (PRI) that occur on farms? What are the strengths and weaknesses of these MS, and how comprehensive is the info. they provide in terms of kinds of health effects, pop¿n. subgroups, pesticides, and geographic coverage? Does the info. provided by these MS provide a basis for making reliable nat. est. of PRI that result from OEP on farms? Tables.

The National Occupational Exposure Survey (NOES) was a nationwide observational survey conducted in a sample of nearly 5,000 establishments from 1981-1983. The goal of the NOES was to compile data on the types of potential exposure agents found at the workplace, & the kinds of safety & health programs which had been implemented was designed to represent those segments of American industry This volume describes the method used to select the sample of plants to be surveyed, & the estimation techniques used to project survey data to national estimates.
