Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance

描述(申请人提供)：肯塔基州(肯塔基州)在2007年致命职业伤害率排名第14位，低于2004年的第8位，在非致命职业伤害和疾病发生率方面排名第8位。KY职业安全与健康监测(KOSHS)基本计划的目标是：1)确定行业、职业和工伤和疾病高危人群；2)确定潜在的风险因素、趋势和新出现的问题；3)制定和实施有针对性的战略，利用基于部门的方法传播职业伤害数据；4)找出国家职业伤害监测系统中的差距；以及5)提高联邦、州和地方各级监测数据的有用性。这项研究的具体目标是：1)与州合作伙伴、机构、组织和其他利益攸关方建立和保持伙伴关系和合作关系(将举办关于建立工人安全计划的价值的研讨会；将分析当地州雇员的工伤数据。KOSHS人员将参加受赠人会议和电话会议)；2)维持KOSHS计划咨询委员会；3)维持以人口为基础的全面多源 使用26个职业健康指标监测KY职业伤害和疾病(将建立一个新的KY职业健康指标是州雇员的工伤，另一个KY职业健康指标将是与工作有关的急救部门访问)；4)通过a)对新出现的问题作出反应，加强KOSHS方案；b)利用空间分析深入分析、解释和传播职业伤害监测数据，以确定涉及商业卡车司机的高风险碰撞区域；以及c)扩展的基于网络的职业伤害数据查询系统；5)通过出版物和基于网络的信息分析和传播数据和研究结果，为目标工人和雇主团体改善工人安全提供可靠的证据基础；以及6)对为评估KOSHS计划的有效性和影响而开展的主要活动进行过程、影响和结果评估。

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.
