The current study characterizes patterns of occupational injury fatalities in New Mexico for the 5-year period 1998-2002.
The study applied methods developed by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists/National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (CSTE/NIOSH) Occupational Health Indicator Work Group and compared the relative strength and weakness of two different datasets (CFOI and NMVRHS) for occupational injury fatality surveillance.
Annual occupational injury mortality rates ranged from 4.4 to 7.6 per 100,000 employed persons aged 16 and over compared to annual US rates of 4.0-4.6 per 100,000. Risk factors for higher mortality rates included age over 65 years, self-employment, non-US citizenship, being African-American or Hispanic, and occurrence in rural counties. The top industry for fatality rate was mining followed by transportation, public utilities, agriculture, and construction.
Applying CSTE/NIOSH Occupational Health Indicator protocol and using both CFOI and NMVRHS data improved the characterization of occupational injury mortality and the setting of priorities for prevention intervention.
本研究描述了1998 - 2002年这5年期间新墨西哥州职业伤害死亡的模式。
该研究采用了由州和领地流行病学家理事会/国家职业安全与健康研究所(CSTE/NIOSH)职业健康指标工作组开发的方法,并比较了两个不同数据集(CFOI和NMVRHS)用于职业伤害死亡监测的相对优缺点。
16岁及以上就业人员的年度职业伤害死亡率为每10万人4.4至7.6人,而美国的年度死亡率为每10万人4.0 - 4.6人。死亡率较高的风险因素包括65岁以上、自营职业、非美国公民、非裔美国人或西班牙裔以及发生在农村县。死亡率最高的行业是采矿业,其次是运输业、公用事业、农业和建筑业。
应用CSTE/NIOSH职业健康指标方案并使用CFOI和NMVRHS数据,改善了职业伤害死亡率的描述以及预防干预优先事项的设定。
