Background To investigate occupational health in urban immigrant Latino workers，using a community based method.Methods A survey was administered through continuously selected door-to-door interviews.Results Response rate was 80%（n = 427）.在美国，平均时间为7.6年，平均工作年限为2.8年。25人报告暴露于10多种不同的危害，18%的人认为这些危害损害了他们的健康。只有31%的人接受过任何职业安全培训; 55%的人没有工人赔偿保险。在过去3年中有工伤的47人（11%）中，27%的人报告难以获得治疗，91%的人失去了工作时间（中位数= 13天），29%的人因为受伤而不得不换工作。职业伤害年发生率为12.2/100，而预期发生率为7.1/100。结论外来务工人员职业伤害发生风险增加，且后果严重。(C)2002 Wiley-Liss，Inc.
Background To investigate occupational health in urban immigrant Latino workers, using a community-based method.Methods A survey was administered through consecutively selected door-to-door interviews.Results Response rate was 80% (n = 427). Average time in the US was 7.6 years, and average job tenure was 2.8 years. Twenty-five reported exposures to over 10 different hazards, and 18% thought these hazards had harmed their health. Only 31% received any job safety training; 55% had no workers' compensation coverage. Of the 47 (11%) with a work injury in the past 3 years, 27% reported difficulty obtaining treatment, 91% lost time from work (median = 13 days) and 29% had to change jobs because of the injury. The annual occupational injury rate was 12.2/100full-time workers, compared to an expected rate of 7.1.Conclusions Urban immigrant workers have increased risk of occupational injuries, with adverse outcomes.
