Intermediate goal 1.2: Disseminate national occupational health surveillance information and provide access to data.

Intermediate goal 1.3: Expand national surveillance of occupational hazards, exposures, and risk factors to identify gaps, trends, and priorities.

Intermediate goal 1.4: Encourage the inclusion in information systems of standardized codes and narrative information on work- relatedness, occupation, industry, and circumstances of injury or disease.

Intermediate goal 1.5: Measure the national economic burden of occupational injuries and illnesses.

Intermediate goal 1.6: Promote, support and measure the impact of national intervention activities to address problems identified through surveillance.

Strategic Goal 2: Enhance state-based surveillance systems and use of data at both the State and national levels to prevent occupational illnesses, injuries, and hazards.

Intermediate goal 2.1: Expand state-based surveillance of occupational injuries and illnesses to identify gaps, trends, priorities and associated burden.

Intermediate goal 2.2: Improve nationwide use and dissemination of state-level occupational health data for decision-making regarding research and intervention activities.

Intermediate goal 2.3: Expand state-based surveillance of occupational hazards, exposures, and risk factors to identify gaps, trends, and priorities.

Intermediate goal 2.4: Promote, support measure the impact of state-based intervention activities to address problems identified through surveillance.

Intermediate goal 2.5: Measure the state-level economic burden of occupational injuries and illnesses.

Strategic Goal 3: Enhance sector specific surveillance systems to prevent occupational illnesses, injuries, and hazards.

Intermediate goal 3.: Expand sector specific surveillance of occupational injuries and illnesses to identify gaps, trends, priorities, and associated burden.

Intermediate goal 3.2: Improve dissemination of sector specific occupational health data for decision-making regarding research and intervention activities.

Intermediate goal 3.3: Expand sector specific surveillance of occupational hazards, exposures, and risk factors to identify gaps, trends, and priorities.

Intermediate goal 3.4: Promote, support and measure the impact of sector specific intervention activities to address problems identified through surveillance.

Intermediate goal 3.5: Measure the sector specific economic burden of occupational injuries and illnesses.

Intermediate goal 3.6: Strengthen surveillance of high risk populations, including special populations.

Strategic Goal 5: Develop new methods for surveillance of occupational illnesses, injuries, and hazards.

Intermediate goal 5.1: Evaluate the utility of existing surveillance systems for occupational illness, injury, and hazard surveillance.

Intermediate goal 5.2: Develop new approaches and infrastructure to enhance occupational illness, injury, and hazard surveillance.
