研究背景家禽加工和猪肉包装工人中急性损伤和慢性病发生率较高。这些工作场所中人畜共患病原体的存在可能与伤害相互作用。方法我们调查了 2004 年至 2009 年 10 家公司报告的工人受伤、割伤和感染的发生率，并计算了按行业和公司划分的年发病率以及时间趋势和与工作相关的风险因素。结果平均年总伤害率为每 100 名工人 6.4 例（家禽）和每 100 名工人（猪肉）13.2 例。年平均撕裂伤率为每 100 名工人 1.8 起（家禽）和每 100 名工人 1.9 起（猪肉）。锋利的工具和动物产品最常被报告为撕裂伤的来源。动物产品最常被报道为感染性撕裂伤的来源。结论结果表明，这些行业的受伤率仍然很高。研究结果还表明，人畜共患病病原体可能是可预防的健康和安全风险。是。 J.工业医学。 57:669-682，2014 年。(c) 2014 年 Wiley 期刊公司。
BackgroundWorkers in poultry processing and pork meatpacking have high rates of acute injuries and chronic disease among. The presence of zoonotic pathogens in these workplaces may interact with injury.MethodsWe investigated incidence of worker injuries, lacerations, and infections reported by 10 companies from 2004 to 2009 and calculated annual incidence rates by industry and company along with temporal trends and job-related risk factors.ResultsAverage annual mean total injury rates were 6.4 per 100 workers (poultry) and 13.2 per 100 workers (pork). Average annual mean rates for lacerations were 1.8 per 100 workers (poultry) and 1.9 per 100 (pork). Sharp tools and animal products were most frequently reported as sources for lacerations. Animal products were most frequently reported as sources of infected lacerations.ConclusionsThe results indicate that these industries continue to have high injury rates. The results also suggest that zoonotic pathogens may be preventable health and safety risks. Am. J. Ind. Med. 57:669-682, 2014. (c) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
