Translation research in occupational safety and health is the application of scientific investigative approaches to study how the outputs of basic and applied research can be effectively translated into practice and have an impact. This includes the study of the ways in which useful knowledge and interventions are disseminated, adopted, implemented, and institutionalized. In this paper, a 4-stage framework (Development, Testing, Institutionalization, and Evaluation) is presented. Translation research can be used to enhance the use and impact of occupational safety and health knowledge and interventions to protect workers. This type of research has not received much attention in the occupational safety and health field. However, in contemporary society, it is critical to know how to make an impact with the findings and outputs of basic and applied research. This paper provides a novel framework for consideration of how to advance and prioritize translation research for occupational safety and health.
职业安全与健康的翻译研究是将科学研究方法应用于研究如何有效地将基础研究和应用研究的成果转化为实践并产生影响。这包括研究如何传播、采用、实施和制度化有用的知识和干预措施。本文提出了一个四阶段框架（开发、测试、制度化和评估）。翻译研究可用于增强职业安全与健康知识和干预措施的使用和影响，以保护工人。这种类型的研究在职业安全与健康领域并没有受到太多关注。然而，在当代社会，了解如何利用基础研究和应用研究的发现和成果产生影响至关重要。本文提供了一个新颖的框架，用于考虑如何推进和优先考虑职业安全与健康的翻译研究。
