为了确定是否可以从美国、英国和瑞典的伤害监测系统中分离出滑溜对职业滑倒、绊倒和跌倒（STF）相关伤害的贡献。咨询了六个政府系统和一个工业系统。这些系统的捕获方法和记录滑动风险的程度各不相同。在所研究的发达国家中，与STF相关的职业伤害的负担占致残职业伤害的20%至40%。据估计，仅在美国，每年与跌倒有关的职业伤害的直接成本约为60亿美元。滑倒或滑倒被发现导致40%至50%的跌倒相关伤害。在同一水平的福尔斯跌落中，打滑比在较低水平的福尔斯跌落中更常见。在许多使用的数据系统中，由于设计上的局限性，对滑滑性负荷的评价受到了阻碍。应通过收集更详细的事件序列信息来改善大规模伤害登记的分辨率，以更好地定义滑溜对职业性STF相关伤害的全部范围和贡献。这些改进将有助于将预防资源用于减少滑倒等首次发病风险因素。
To determine if the contribution of slipperiness to occupational slip, trip and fall (STF)-related injuries could be isolated from injury surveillance systems in the USA, the UK and Sweden. six governmental systems and one industrial system were consulted. The systems varied in their capture approaches and the degree of documentation of exposure to slipping. The burden of STF-related occupational injury ranged from 20 to 40% of disabling occupational injuries in the developed countries studied. The annual direct cost of fall-related occupational injuries in the USA alone was estimated to be approximately US$6 billion. Slipperiness or slipping were found to contribute to between 40 and 50% of fall-related injuries. Slipperiness was more often a factor in same level falls than in falls to lower levels. The evaluation of the burden of slipperiness was hampered by design limitations in many of the data systems utilized. The resolution of large-scale injury registries should be improved by collecting more detailed incident sequence information to better define the full scope and contribution of slipperiness to occupational STF-related injuries. Such improvements would facilitate the allocation of prevention resources towards reduction of first-event risk factors such as slipping.
