背景西班牙裔建筑业的就业人数急剧增加，但公布的数据职业risk.Methods数据从人口普查的致命职业伤害（CFO 1）和目前的人口调查（CPS）进行了检查，从1992年至2000年。死亡率，相对风险（RR），和风险指数计算使用CFOI死亡数据和CPS数据的工作时间，调整到全职当量（FTE）。1996年至2000年的数据被合并，以便对年龄和职业群体进行可靠的比较。RR和95%的置信区间calculated.Results在2000年，西班牙裔构成不到16%的建筑劳动力，但遭受23.5%的致命伤害。RR为：建筑行业的帮手，2.31（95%CI：1.41-3.80）;屋顶工1。77（95%CI 1.38-2.28）;木匠1.39（95%CI 1.08-1.79）;和建筑工人1.31（95%CI 1.17-1.46）。结论西班牙裔建筑工人一直面临较高的RR，每年从1992年至2000年，每个年龄组。2000年，西班牙裔建筑工人因职业伤害而死亡的可能性几乎是非西班牙裔建筑工人的两倍（1.84，95% CI 1.60-2.10）。
Background Hispanic construction employment has dramatically increased, yet published data on occupational risk is lacking.Methods Data from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFO1) and current population survey (CPS) were examined from 1992 to 2000. Fatality rate, relative risk (RR), and risk index were calculated using CFOI fatality data and CPS data on hours worked, adjusted to full-time-equivalents (FTE). Data between 1996 and 2000 were combined to allow reliable comparisons of age and occupational groups. RR and 95% confidence intervals were calculated.Results In 2000, Hispanics constituted less than 16% of the construction workforce yet suffered 23.5% of fatal injuries. RRs were: helpers, construction trades, 2.31 (95% CI: 1.41-3.80); roofers 1. 77 (95% CI 1.38-2.28); carpenters 1.39 (95% CI 1.08-1.79); and construction laborers 1.31 (95% CI 1.17-1.46).Conclusions Hispanic construction workers consistently faced higher RRs, for every year from 1992 to 2000 and for every age group. In 2000, Hispanic construction workers were nearly twice (1.84, 95% CI 1.60-2.10) as likely to be killed by occupational injuries as their non-Hispanic counterparts.
