1 8. Occupational Safety and Health Goal Promote worker health and safety through prevention and early intervention. Overview Currently, Kentucky s occupational fatality rate is 7.0 deaths per workers (Kentucky Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program data, 2004), 72.5 percent above the national rate of 4 per workers. The nonfatal worker injury rate is also greater in Kentucky at 6.4 injuries and illnesses per 100 workers compared to a total worker injury rate of 5.0 injuries and illnesses per 100 workers nationwide (Bureau of Labor Statistics [BLS], 2004). FACE data indicate that a total of 2,248 years of potential life were lost (YPLL) in 2003 due to work-related injuries. Lost future productivity attributable to these injuries is an estimated $65.2 million dollars. From 1994 through 2004, 1,445 Kentucky workers were killed on the job, averaging 131 per year (Kentucky FACE data). Kentucky s occupational fatality rates are in the range of twice as high as national rates in agriculture, forestry, fishing, transportation, and mining. Summary of Progress While interventions have been developed for the workplace, targeted prevention interventions are needed in the transportation and construction sectors. Kentucky s construction worker fatal injury rate has not improved since Strides have been made in the agriculture, forestry, and fishing industry sectors for the prevention of occupational injuries. Tractor rollover protection structures (ROPS) continue to be promoted by disseminating prevention materials, FACE tractor report text analysis results, and a CD developed by the Community Partners for Healthy Farming project. These materials focus on reducing tractor fatalities by retrofitting tractors with a ROPS and encouraging safe tractor operation through public service announcements, exercises, simulations, motor vehicle crash prevention materials, and other similar materials. This information is designed to be used by local health educators and injury prevention coordinators. Statewide nonfatal occupational injury and illness surveillance will begin in 2005 for a number of injuries and illnesses, including pneumoconiosis hospitalizations and mortality, occupational poisonings, blood lead levels, amputations, work-related burns, malignant mesothelioma incidence, and carpal tunnel syndrome, among others. This program will bring a consistent approach to the analysis of existing data sets through 129

Reduce deaths from work-related injuries to no more than 5.5 per full time workers. (See Revision) 8.1R. (REVISION) Reduce deaths from work-related injuries to no more than 3.6 per full-time workers.

(See Revision) 8.4R. (REVISION) Reduce the number of pneumoconiosis deaths by 10 percent. 132
5 References Reason for Revision: The original objective was too broad. Since Kentucky has the 2 nd highest pneumoconiosis incidence rate in the nation, a reduction in pneumoconiosis deaths by 10 percent, a current national Healthy People 2010 objective, is an appropriate Kentucky objective. Data Sources: Kentucky Vital Statistics Surveillance System, death certificate files will be utilized. Baseline: Not yet determined HK2010 Target: 10 percent improvement over baseline Mid-Decade Status: Not yet determined This data will soon be collected by the Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center and the Kentucky Department for Public Health.
