How do state health departments contribute to occupational safety?

  1. By exclusively funding research

  2. Through data collection, analysis, and dissemination of recommendations

  3. Offering retirement benefits to injured workers

  4. Focusing on international labor laws

The correct answer is: Through data collection, analysis, and dissemination of recommendations

State health departments play a critical role in ensuring occupational safety by collecting, analyzing, and disseminating relevant data and recommendations. This allows them to identify areas of concern and provide targeted interventions to prevent and reduce workplace-related injuries and illnesses. Options A, C, and D are not accurate as state health departments do not solely fund research, provide retirement benefits, or focus on international labor laws to promote occupational safety.
