Codes
Software for automated coding of industry and occupation to 1990 Census classifications is available from the Division of Safety Research, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, CDC (
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/SOIC/ )
. As of press time, NIOSH is developing new web-based software for automated coding of industry and occupation to appropriate year Census (1990, 2000, or 2010) classifications. The contact person for this software (which will be available after October 2012) is Sue Nowlin, who can be contacted at
sxn1@cdc.gov or (513) 841-4467.
Registries may want to wait to code industry and occupation until NAACCR Standards Volume II, Version 13 is released and the NIOSH autocoding software is available.
