Exposure to workplace hazards among migrant workers in Australia

该项目旨在比较移民工人和澳大利亚出生的工人接触工作场所危险，即致癌物质和心理社会风险因素(如欺凌和不稳定的工作)的流行率。国际文献表明，移民工人比本地人口面临更多的工作场所危险，但澳大利亚的证据基础并不完整，尽管澳大利亚拥有如此庞大的移民人口。该项目的预期目标是解决证据上的这一差距。预期的结果是减少所有工人接触有害物质和行为的进程中必要的第一步。

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.
