This project aims to compare the prevalence of exposure to workplace hazards, namely carcinogens and psychosocial risk factors (eg bullying and precarious work), among migrant and Australian-born workers. The international literature suggests that migrant workers are exposed to more workplace hazards than native-born populations, but the evidence base for Australia is patchy despite the fact that Australia has such a large migrant population. The anticipated goal of this project is to address this gap in evidence. The intended outcomes are the necessary first step in the process of reducing exposure to harmful substances and behaviours for all workers.

该项目旨在比较移民和澳大利亚出生的工人接触工作场所危险因素的普遍性，即致癌物质和心理社会风险因素（如欺凌和不稳定的工作）。国际文献表明，移民工人比本地出生的人口面临更多的工作场所危险，但澳大利亚的证据基础是不完整的，尽管澳大利亚有这么大的移民人口。本项目的预期目标是解决证据方面的这一差距。预期成果是减少所有工人接触有害物质和行为过程中必要的第一步。
