Description:Rev 1.7, January 2014
These procedures establish guidelines for the process by which state agencies (aka “providers”) submit documents to the State-based Occupational Health Surveillance Clearinghouse (aka “clearinghouse”). This process begins with the selection of appropriate documents and ends with submission of an RSS feed to the State-based Occupational Health Surveillance Clearinghouse of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
The vision of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is safety and health at work for all people through research and prevention. NIOSH sponsors many occupational health and safety programs to work towards this vision. In turn, the states conduct surveillance, write articles, and develop outreach materials for at-risk populations.
Many of the state materials produced through NIOSH funding are classified as “gray literature.” Gray literature is open source literature that is not controlled by commercial publishing (e.g. pamphlets, flyers, educational brochures). It is important to retain copies of gray literature because: (1) they are part of program output and represent documentation of program activities, (2) they are not captured by popular search engines (i.e. PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Knowledge) and (3) they reflect the changing nature of state and national health priorities.
