There is convincing evidence that occupational injury and illness rates, particularly those reported by employers in the BLS' Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII), substantially underestimate the true magnitude of injury and illness in the construction industry.
Fifteen years of data from five large nationally representative data sources were analyzed, including SOII, CFOI, CBP, CPS, and MEPS. Regression trends and ratio analyses were conducted, and stratified by establishment size and Hispanic ethnicity.
Small construction establishments were most likely to underreport injuries. The SOII data only captured 25% of severe injuries among Hispanic workers, and 60% among white workers in small construction establishments.
Underreporting is pervasive in the construction industry for small establishments and Hispanic workers. Given that small establishments are predominant in the U.S. construction industry, they should be the focus of a larger effort to identify the true extent of construction-related injuries.
有确凿的证据表明，职业伤害和疾病发生率，特别是由美国劳工统计局（BLS）的职业伤害和疾病调查（SOII）报告的雇主所报告的发生率，大大低估了建筑行业伤害和疾病的真实程度。
分析了五个大型全国代表性数据来源的十五年数据，包括 SOII、CFOI、CBP、CPS 和 MEPS。进行了回归趋势和比率分析，并按企业规模和西班牙裔种族进行了分层。
小型建筑企业最有可能少报伤害。SOII 数据仅捕获了小型建筑企业中西班牙裔工人严重伤害的 25%，以及白人工人的 60%。
小型企业和西班牙裔工人在建筑行业中普遍存在漏报现象。鉴于小型企业在美国建筑行业中占主导地位，他们应该成为更大努力的重点，以确定与建筑相关的伤害的真实程度。
