目的中小型住宅建筑公司的工人（≤50名员工）有很高的跌倒相关死亡或残疾的风险。然而，人们对如何有效地与这一分部门合作开展研究和培训知之甚少。我们测试是否保险记录下降相关的索赔，在过去的12个月内，较低的熟悉设备的动机公司的代表从事与秋天的保护surveillance.MethodsOregon最大的工人赔偿保险公司抽取了一个随机的匿名样本的小型和中型住宅建筑，没有（n= 197），并没有（n= 195）有一个最近的下降相关的索赔。样本按规模、贸易和地区分层。公司代表通过电子邮件发送了一份关于设备熟悉程度的34项调查问卷，以参加抽奖活动，赢得防摔倒设备。我们对调查参与度进行了二进制编码，表明参与者是否完成了至少一半的调查。10件设备的熟悉程度从0（从来没有见过它）到3（经常使用它）points.ResultsThe调查发起了88的392名代表（22.4%的响应率）的规模进行测量。其中，63名代表提供了确定索赔状况所需的公司标识。有索赔要求的公司代表的调查参与度高于无索赔要求的公司代表（57.6%对42.4%，P = 0.16）。设备熟悉度较低的公司代表与较低的调查参与度（1.15比1.56，P < 0.05）。调查参与率的巨大但统计上不显着的差异表明，不良事件促使公司参与坠落保护研究。样本中对设备的熟悉程度较低，证明需要确定有效的坠落保护措施。
ObjectivesWorkers in small and medium residential construction companies (≤50 employees) have a high risk of fall-related fatality or disability. However, little is known about effective ways to engage with this subsector for research and training. We tested whether insurance-documented fall-related claims during the past 12 months and lower familiarity with equipment motivated companies’ representatives to engage with a fall protection survey.MethodsOregon’s largest workers compensation insurer drew a random anonymous sample of small and medium residential construction that did (n= 197) and did not (n= 195) have a recent fall-related claim. Samples were stratified by size, trade, and region. Company representatives were emailed a 34-item questionnaire about equipment familiarity to enter a raffle to win fall-prevention equipment. We coded survey engagement binarily, indicating whether a participant completed at least half of the survey. Familiarity with 10 pieces of equipment was measured with a scale from 0 (never seen it) to 3 (use it frequently) points.ResultsThe survey was initiated by 88 out of 392 representatives (22.4% response rate). Of those, 63 representatives provided the company identifier which was needed to establish claim status. Survey engagement was higher among representatives from companies with claims compared with those without (57.6 versus 42.4%,P= 0.16). Equipment familiarity was lower among company representatives with lower survey engagement (1.15 versus 1.56,P< 0.05).ConclusionsThe survey had a relatively encouraging response rate for a hard-to-reach sector. The large but not statistically significant difference in survey engagement rates suggests that adverse events motivate companies to engage with fall protection research. Low equipment familiarity in the sample substantiates the need to identify effective engagement methods for fall protection practices.
