鉴于危险废物工人的职业风险，本研究旨在探讨蓝领和白领工人在医疗监测实践方面可能存在的差异。从参加健康和安全培训课程的636名白领和206名蓝领受训人员中收集了人口和医疗监测数据。总体而言，4.5%的学员报告因有害物质而生病或受伤。差异有统计学意义(P<。0001)；蓝领受训者更有可能生病或受伤。医学监测登记人数也存在差异；32%的白领学员报告入学，而蓝领学员的这一比例为19% (P=。004)。这项研究表明，蓝领受训人员更容易受伤，更不可能参加医疗监督项目。必须解决疾病和受伤问题以及医疗监督登记问题；确保所有工人都接受必要的医疗监督，以预防危险废物场的职业病。
Given the occupational risks of hazardous waste workers, this study was conducted to explore possible differences in medical surveillance practices among blue and white collar workers. Demographic and medical surveillance data were collected from 636 white collar and 206 blue collar trainees, enrolled in health and safety training courses. Overall, 4.5% of the trainees reported being ill or injured because of hazardous substances. Significant differences (P<. 0001) were noted between groups; blue collar trainees were more likely to have been ill or injured. Differences also existed for medical surveillance enrollment; 32% of the white collar trainees report enrollment compared to 19% of the blue collar trainees (P=. 004). This study indicates that blue collar trainees are more likely to be injured and less likely to be enrolled in medical surveillance programs. Issues of illness and injury, as well as medical surveillance enrollment, must be addressed; ensuring that all workers receive medical surveillance needed to prevent occupational illness in the hazardous waste field.
