这项研究涉及瑞典一家汽车和卡车厂的公民身份与事故之间的关系，按车间、职业群体、年龄和经验分列。 它涵盖了1986-1987年根据集体协议雇用的人员发生的537起事故。 瑞典和外国公民的平均年频率之间的比较。 这项研究没有支持移民比国民更容易发生职业事故的观点。 事实上，大多数比较表明，瑞典籍工人的事故发生率较高，尽管只有少数情况下各组之间存在统计上的显著差异。 然而，年轻和经验不足的外国公民发生事故的频率高于年轻的瑞典国民。 在对该公司发动机车间发生的178起事故进行分析时，还注意到事故情况的类型与国籍和出生国之间的关系。 这些商店有很高的移民比例和相对较高的事故频率。 采用多变量分析方法，包括交叉表和卡方检验对先前因子化/聚类数据的应用。 外国公民和瑞典公民在事故情况类型方面没有显著差异。 这项研究并不表明，移民作为一个群体，有必要在旨在防止职业事故的工作中成为具体的目标。
The study concerns the relationship between citizenship and accidents, broken down by workshop, occupational group, age and experience, at a Swedish automobile and truck factory. It covers 537 accidents among personnel employed under collective agreement over the years 1986-1987. Comparisons between average annual frequency rates for Swedish and foreign citizens are made. The study offers no support for the view that immigrants are at greater risk than nationals for occupational accidents. In fact, most of the comparisons showed a higher accident frequency among workers of Swedish nationality, although statistically significant differences between groups were obtained in only a few cases. There was, however, a higher accident frequency for young and less experienced foreign citizens than for young Swedish nationals. In an analysis of the 178 accidents that occurred at the company's engine workshops, attention was also paid to the relationships between type of accident situation on the one hand and citizenship and country of birth on the other. These shops had a high proportion of immigrants and a relatively high accident freuqency. A multivariate method of analysis was employed, involving the application of cross-tabulations and Chi-square tests to previously factored/clustered data. No significant difference between foreign and Swedish citizens emerged with respect to type of accident situation. This study does not indicate that there is a need for immigrants as a group to be specifically targeted in work designed to prevent occupational accidents.
