In the United States, approximately 20% of all workers who died on the job in 2007 were foreign-born. The objective of this study was to describe trends in occupational fatalities among foreign-born workers. An analysis of fatal injuries among foreign-born workers in the US occurring from 1992 through 2007 was conducted using the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. Individual characteristics, employment characteristics, injury events and industry employment were summarized and evaluated for trends. Both the number and proportion of foreign-born workers who died from a traumatic work-related injury increased substantially over the time period studied. The proportion who were men, aged 25-44 years, Hispanic, non self-employed, employed by business establishments with 10 or fewer employees, working at private residences and working in Construction and Services consistently increased throughout the time period. While some trends among foreign-born decedents are improving, others are worsening. More comprehensive research efforts are needed to address the occupational injury and safety issues among foreign-born workers, with a focus on Hispanics.
在美国，2007 年约有 20%的职业死亡工人是外国出生的。本研究的目的是描述外国出生工人职业死亡的趋势。利用劳工统计局的职业伤害死因普查，对 1992 年至 2007 年期间美国外国出生工人的致命伤害进行了分析。总结并评估了个人特征、就业特征、伤害事件和行业就业的趋势。在研究期间，死于创伤性工作相关伤害的外国出生工人的数量和比例都大幅增加。男性、25-44 岁、西班牙裔、非自雇、受雇于员工人数在 10 人以下的企业、在私人住宅工作以及在建筑和服务行业工作的工人比例在整个研究期间持续上升。尽管一些外国出生死者的趋势有所改善，但其他趋势却在恶化。需要更全面的研究工作来解决外国出生工人的职业伤害和安全问题，重点关注西班牙裔。
