Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance

描述（由申请人提供）：肯塔基州（KY）在2007年的致命职业伤害率中排名第14位，低于2004年的第8位，在非致命职业伤害和疾病发生率中排名第8位。肯塔基州职业安全和健康监测（KOSHS）基本方案的目标是：1）确定工伤和疾病高风险的行业部门、职业和工人群体; 2）确定潜在的风险因素、趋势和新出现的问题; 3）利用基于部门的方法制定和实施有针对性的工伤数据传播战略; 4）确定国家职业伤害监测系统中的差距; 5）提高联邦、州和地方各级监测数据的有效性。该研究的具体目标是：1）建立并维持与国家合作伙伴、机构、组织和其他利益相关者的伙伴关系和合作（将举办关于建立工人安全计划的价值的研讨会;将分析当地国家雇员的伤害数据。KOSHS人员将参加受赠方会议和电话会议）; 2）维持KOSHS计划咨询委员会; 3）维持基于人口的综合多来源 使用26项职业健康指标（OHIs）监测KY职业伤害和疾病（将建立的一个新的KY-specific OHI是国家雇员中的工伤，另一个KY-specific OHI将是与工作有关的急诊室访问）; 4）通过a）对新出现的问题的响应来加强KOSHS计划; B）通过使用空间分析对职业伤害监测数据进行深入分析、解释和传播，以确定涉及商用卡车司机的高风险碰撞区域; 5）通过出版物和网络信息分析和传播数据和研究结果，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，以在州和国家一级产生影响; 6）对主要活动进行过程、影响和结果评估，以评估KOSHS计划的有效性和影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Kentucky (KY) ranks as the 14th -worst state for fatal occupational injury rates in 2007, down from the 8th worst in 2004, and is the 8th worst state for nonfatal occupational injury and illness incidence rates. The objectives of the KY Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance (KOSHS) fundamental program are to 1) identify industry sectors, occupations, and worker populations at high risk for work injuries and illnesses; 2) identify potential risk factors, trends, and emerging issues; 3) develop and implement targeted strategies for occupational injury data dissemination utilizing a sector-based approach; 4) identify gaps within national occupational injury surveillance systems; and 5) advance the usefulness of surveillance data at the federal, state, and local levels. The specific aims for the study are to: 1) Establish and maintain partnerships and collaborations with state partners, agencies, organizations, and other stakeholders (Seminars will be presented on the value of establishing a worker safety program; local state employee injury data will be analyzed. KOSHS personnel will participate in grantee meetings, and conference calls); 2) Maintain the KOSHS program advisory committee; 3) Maintain comprehensive multi-source population-based surveillance of KY occupational injuries and illnesses using 26 occupational health indicators (OHIs) (One new KY-specific OHI to be established is work-related injuries among state employees and another KY-specific OHI will be work-related emergency department visits); 4) Enhance the KOSHS program through a) response to emerging issues; b) in-depth analyses, interpretation, and dissemination of occupational injury surveillance data through the use of spatial analysis to determine high risk collision areas involving commercial truck drivers; and c) an expanded web-based occupational injury data query system; 5) Provide targeted worker and employer groups with a sound evidence basis for improved worker safety by analyzing and disseminating data and research results through publications and web-based information for impact at both the state and national levels; and 6) Perform a process, impact, and outcome evaluation of the major activities conducted to assess effectiveness and impact of the KOSHS program.
