In Washington state 29,451 workers' compensation claims were filed by farm workers between 1982 and 1986. Five percent of claimants were under 18 years of age, including 1.3% under the age of 16. Agricultural workers were found to be at higher risk than other workers in the state for fatal injury (relative risk [RR] = 2.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.7-3.7), sprains and strains (RR = 1.4, CI = 1.3-1.4), fractures (RR = 2.3, CI = 2.2-2.4), dislocations (RR = 1.9, CI = 1.7-2.2), concussions (RR = 1.9, CI = 1.6-2.3), amputations (RR = 2.5, CI = 2.0-3.1), dermatitis (RR = 4.3, CI = 4.0-4.7), systemic poisoning (RR = 3.4, CI = 3.1-3.7), respiratory disease (RR = 1.7, CI = 1.0-2.9), and tendonitis (RR = 1.2, CI = 1.1-1.4).
1982年至1986年间，华盛顿州的农场工人共提交了29451份工伤赔偿申请。5%的索赔者年龄在18岁以下，其中1.3%的索赔者年龄在16岁以下。研究发现，该州农业工人遭受致命伤害（相对风险[RR]=2.5，95%置信区间[CI]=1.7 - 3.7）、扭伤和拉伤（RR = 1.4，CI = 1.3 - 1.4）、骨折（RR = 2.3，CI = 2.2 - 2.4）、脱臼（RR = 1.9，CI = 1.7 - 2.2）、脑震荡（RR = 1.9，CI = 1.6 - 2.3）、截肢（RR = 2.5，CI = 2.0 - 3.1）、皮炎（RR = 4.3，CI = 4.0 - 4.7）、全身中毒（RR = 3.4，CI = 3.1 - 3.7）、呼吸系统疾病（RR = 1.7，CI = 1.0 - 2.9）和肌腱炎（RR = 1.2，CI = 1.1 - 1.4）的风险高于其他工人。
