About WIZARD
WIZARD (Workplace Health Information System for Surveillance and Risk Detection) is
a series of computer programs for IBM-compatible PCs that organize plant-level activities
for injury and illness surveillance, disability (return-to-work) management, and health
and safety follow-up. Produced by Neil Maizlish, Ph.D. in cooperation with the Pan
American Health Organization, WIZARD offers an important component to a successful health
and safety management program.
WIZARD removes a key barrier: the lack of a coherent system to report injuries and
organize follow-up. WIZARD defines a minimum data set for occupational injury/illness
surveillance and disability management, provides electronic report forms and standardized
code lists to collect this data, and uses the data to generate the key statistical tables
and case lists.
WIZARD is copyrighted, public-domain software which operates as an application of Epi Info 6.0x. Epi Info 6.0x must be installed before using WIZARD.
WIZARD has an equivalent Spanish version known as SUAVIDERO (Sistema Automatizado para
Vigilancia y la Deteccion de Riesgos Ocupacionales). WIZARD should be engaged only after
adequate training in the basics of epidemiology and surveillance.
You are advised to read the user's manual which is a Word 6.0 file
named WHIZ- MAN.UAL para
WIZARD (versión en inglés) and SUAV_MAN.UAL para SUAVIDERO (versión
en español). Installation instructions for files downloaded via InterNet are
contained in the LEAME.105
and on page 11 of the WHIZ_MANUAL user's guide.
Installation
Instructions
These files are self-extracting archives. You may leave the .EXE files
in the same directory or you may create two separate directories, one for WIZARD, the
other for SUAVIDERO. Execute the .EXE files in the appropriate directory, which will
produce a series of compressed files. To be consistent with the installation procedure for
distribution diskettes, it is recommended that you name the WIZARD directory WHIZ and the
SUAVIDERO directory SUAV. Execute the .EXE files by typing WIZARD [enter] (or SUAVIDER
[enter]) in the appropriate directory, which will produce a series of program files.
- To start up WIZARD, from the DOS prompt, type:
- C:\WHIZ> whiz [enter]
- To start up SUAVIDERO, from the DOS prompt, type:
- C:\SUAV> suav [enter]
