Surveillance Report
CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

respiratory diseases. The 1992 supplement is an update and includes

the National Hospital Discharge Survey, and the Sentinel Event
Notification System for Occupational Risks (SENSOR) program. The
report, compiled by the Division of Respiratory Disease Studies,
contains information of use to public health officials,
researchers, management and labor officials, and others working in
occupational health disciplines.
