A cross sectional survey was initiated to understand the frequency of occupational injury occurrence and the associated factors in the fish processing industries of western India involving 185 randomly selected women subjects. All the subjects were interviewed with the help of an interviewer-administered questionnaire to collect information regarding their personal, occupational and work related morbidity details (including details of occupational injuries). Logistic regression method was used to analyze the data in order to obtain the contribution of individual factors on occupational injuries. This study has shown that work related morbidity like blanching of hand (OR; 2.30, 95%CI; 1.12-4.74) and nature of job like grading (OR; 3.99, 95%CI; 1.41-11.27) and packing (OR; 5.68, 95%CI; 1.65-19.57) had a significant impact on injury causation. This study eventually concludes that apart from nature of job of fish processing workers occupational hazards prevailing in the work environment contribute significantly to the occurrence of work related injuries and prevention of such occupational hazards may help in protecting workers from occupational injuries also.
为了解印度西部鱼类加工业中职业伤害的发生频率及相关因素，开展了一项横断面调查，涉及185名随机选取的女性受试者。所有受试者均在访员协助下通过问卷调查收集其个人、职业及与工作相关的发病细节（包括职业伤害细节）。采用逻辑回归方法分析数据，以得出各因素对职业伤害的影响。本研究表明，与工作相关的发病情况如手部发白（比值比；2.30，95%置信区间；1.12 - 4.74）以及工作性质如分级（比值比；3.99，95%置信区间；1.41 - 11.27）和包装（比值比；5.68，95%置信区间；1.65 - 19.57）对伤害成因有显著影响。本研究最终得出结论，除了鱼类加工工人的工作性质外，工作环境中存在的职业危害对与工作相关伤害的发生有重大影响，预防此类职业危害可能有助于保护工人免受职业伤害。
