背景年轻工人比年长工人更容易在工作中受伤。调查往往侧重于与工作相关的解释因素，但往往忽视与工作无关的原因。目的是确定导致年轻工人在季节性工作中受伤的工作和非工作相关因素。方法对一组季节性公园和娱乐场所工作人员进行了两项调查，衡量健康和安全行为以及自我报告的伤害。结果70%的人报告了夏季工作受伤的情况。在年轻工人中，年龄每增加一岁，受伤率就会增加近 50%（P<0.05）。女性受伤几率是男性的三倍（P<0.05）。我们观察到每周平均工作时间与伤害之间存在线性关系（P < 0.001）。酗酒（P < 0.05）也与伤害有关。 结论 该样本中年轻工人的较高受伤率是多因素造成的，包括工作和非工作因素，这表明需要采取更全面的方法来解决年轻工人的安全问题。
BackgroundYounger workers are more likely to be injured on the job than older workers. Investigation tends to focus on work-related explanatory factors but often neglects non-work-related causes.AimsTo identify both work- and non-work-related factors that contribute to younger workers’ injuries in seasonal work.MethodsTwo surveys of a set of seasonal parks and recreation workers were conducted measuring health and safety behaviours and self-reported injuries.ResultsSeventy per cent reported an injury at work over the summer. Among young workers, each additional year of age was associated with an almost 50% increase in injury rate (P< 0.05). Odds of injury in women were three times those for men (P< 0.05). We observed a linear relationship between average hours worked per week and injuries (P< 0.001). Alcohol abuse (P< 0.05) was also associated with injuries.ConclusionsHigher injury rates among younger workers in this sample is multifactorial and encompasses both work and non-work factors and suggest that more global approaches are required to address young worker safety.
