• Description:
  This is the seventh annual report produced by the Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance (KOSHS) program at the Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center. This report provides trend data on occupational injury and illness indicators including health, exposure, hazard, intervention, and socio-economic indicators. It also includes comparisons between Kentucky occupational injury and illness rates, and US rates. The Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center, as the bona fide agent for the Kentucky Department for Public Health, has been funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to collect data on 20 indicators of worker injuries and illnesses using guidelines established by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE). Kentucky also collects data for three state-specific indicators. Indicator data was collected using standardized methodology from a variety of different state data sources including emergency department billing data, inpatient hospitalization billing data, motor vehicle crash data, mortality data, poison control center data, workers' compensation data, Kentucky Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance data, and Kentucky Cancer Registry data, among others. Our Objectives: The objectives of the KOSHS program are to identify worker populations and work environments with elevated risk for nonfatal and fatal worker injuries and illnesses, to identify risk factors for an occupational injury, and to develop strategies for dissemination of state occupational health data, with the ultimate goal of reducing the burden of occupational injuries in Kentucky.
