The 2 NIOSH resources that formed the basis of the poster are:

1. Occupational Sentinel Health Events (SHE[O]): An Up-Dated List for Physician Recognition and Public Health Surveillance in 1991. (284 references cited). Am J Ind Med 19: 775-799 (1991) Co-author.

The above "Occupational Sentinel Health Events (SHE[O])" article was sent by CDC/NIOSH to Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) of the World Health Organization (WHO) for translation into Spanish:

Eventos Centinela en Salud Ocupational (Traducción) published by:
Centro Panamericano de Ecología Humana y Salud

The above "Occupational Sentinel Health Events (SHE[O])" article was also translated into Chinese by the help of a Medical Intern from Taiwan and published in the Taiwan Medical Journal, Volume 36,  876-883, 1993 (without citing the 284 references).

A few of my bosses including the Branch Chief mentioned that this article along with the Spanish & Chinese translations have reached almost 75% of the world literate population.
