背景有令人信服的证据表明，职业伤害和疾病的发病率，特别是那些在劳工统计局的职业伤害和疾病的调查（SOII）雇主报告，大大低估了真正的伤害和疾病的规模在construction industry.Methods十五年的数据，从五个大的全国代表性的数据来源进行了分析，包括SOII，CFOI，CBP，CPS和MEPS。回归趋势和比率进行分析，并分层建立规模和西班牙裔ethnicity.Results小型建筑企业最有可能漏报伤害。SOII的数据只捕获25%的西班牙裔工人的严重伤害，和60%的白色工人在小型construction institutions.Conclusions漏报是普遍存在于建筑业的小型企业和西班牙裔工人。鉴于小企业在美国占主导地位。S.建筑业，他们应该是一个更大的努力，以确定与建筑有关的伤害的真实程度的重点。Am.

Background There is convincing evidence that occupational injury and illness rates, particularly those reported by employers in the BLS' Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII), substantially underestimate the true magnitude of injury and illness in the construction industry.Methods Fifteen years of data from five large nationally representative data sources were analyzed, including SOII, CFOI, CBP, CPS, and MEPS. Regression trends and ratio analyses were conducted, and stratified by establishment size and Hispanic ethnicity.Results Small construction establishments were most likely to underreport injuries. The SOII data only captured 25% of severe injuries among Hispanic workers, and 60% among white workers in small construction establishments.Conclusions Underreporting is pervasive in the construction industry for small establishments and Hispanic workers. Given that small establishments are predominant in the U. S. construction industry, they should be the focus of a larger effort to identify the true extent of construction-related injuries. Am. J.
