DESCRIPTION (Provided by applicant): Kentucky ranks as the 8th- worst state for fatal occupational injury rates, and is also among the states with the highest nonfatal occupational injury and illness incidence rates (BLS, 2006). This expanded project focuses on the population-based surveillance of fatal and nonfatal work-related injuries and illnesses in Kentucky, a southeastern state. The objectives of the fundamental Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance (KOSHS) and expanded Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) programs are to identify industry sectors, occupations, and worker populations at high risk for work injuries and illnesses, to advance the usefulness of surveillance data for injury prevention, and to develop and implement targeted strategies for dissemination of data utilizing a sector-based approach, to reducing occupational injuries and illnesses. The methodology consists of conducting population-based surveillance of 20 occupational injury/illness indicators, and in-depth focused multi-source surveillance of occupational fatalities to identify risk factors. Surveillance of occupational motor vehicle collisions will be expanded to include multiple data sources. A new indicator for occupational falls, including older worker falls, will be established. On-site investigations of selected fatality cases involving motor vehicle collisions in the transportation and logging sectors will be performed. A case-control study will be conducted to determine the association between the number of passengers and injury severity in older male driver motor vehicle collisions. Narratives of older worker occupational falls using Workers' Claims data will be coded. Fatality narratives of interpersonal violence-related occupational homicides will be developed and disseminated utilizing multiple sources of data The "Kentucky- Working to Save Lives" consortium will be sustained and charged with the development of a statewide occupational injury prevention plan. Nonparametric statistical analysis methods will be applied to the CRASH data set to identify geographic areas of Kentucky highways with the highest probability of commercial vehicle and coal truck crashes. Targeted worker and employer groups will be provided with a sound evidence basis for improved worker safety by analyzing and disseminating occupational injury and illness surveillance data, and publications for impact at both the state and national levels. A process, impact, and outcome evaluation of the major activities conducted.

描述（由申请人提供）：肯塔基州是致命工伤率排名第八的州，也是非致命工伤和疾病发病率最高的州之一（BLS, 2006）。这个扩展项目的重点是在东南部的肯塔基州对致命和非致命的工伤和疾病进行基于人口的监测。基本的肯塔基州职业安全和健康监测（KOSHS）和扩展的死亡评估和控制评估（FACE）计划的目标是确定工伤和疾病高风险的工业部门、职业和工人群体，促进监测数据对伤害预防的有用性，并制定和实施有针对性的战略，利用基于部门的方法传播数据。减少职业伤害和疾病。该方法包括对20项职业伤害/疾病指标进行基于人群的监测，并对职业死亡进行深入集中的多来源监测，以确定风险因素。对职业机动车辆碰撞的监测将扩大到包括多个数据源。将建立一个新的职业跌倒指标，包括老年工人跌倒。将对运输和伐木部门涉及机动车辆碰撞的选定死亡案件进行现场调查。将进行一项病例对照研究，以确定老年男性驾驶员机动车辆碰撞中乘客人数与伤害严重程度之间的关系。使用工人索赔数据的老年工人职业跌倒的叙述将被编码。将利用多种数据来源开发和传播与人际暴力有关的职业杀人的死亡叙述。“肯塔基州-致力于拯救生命”联盟将得到维持，并负责制定全州范围的职业伤害预防计划。非参数统计分析方法将应用于CRASH数据集，以确定肯塔基州高速公路上商用车和运煤卡车碰撞概率最高的地理区域。将通过分析和传播职业伤害和疾病监测数据以及在州和国家两级产生影响的出版物，为目标工人和雇主群体提供改善工人安全的可靠证据基础。对所进行的主要活动的过程、影响和结果的评价。
