Migrant workers usually show higher rates of work-related health problems than natives. However, little information is available about their exposure to occupational risks. We describe self-reported working exposure in Spanish and foreign-born workers. A cross-sectional survey was conducted as part of the ITSAL Project. Data on sociodemographic and self-reported occupational exposure in 1,841 foreign-born and 509 Spanish workers were collected through face-to-face interviews. Prevalence and adjusted odds ratios-aOR- (by age, education, type of contract) were calculated. Foreign-born men in non-services sectors and those in manual occupations perceived exposure to occupational risks with lower prevalence than Spanish workers. Foreign-born women reported higher prevalence of exposure than Spanish female workers. By occupation, foreign-born female workers were more likely than Spanish workers to report working many hours/day (aOR2.68; 95 % CI 1.06-6.78) and exposure to extreme temperatures (aOR2.19; 95 % CI 1.10-4.38). Some groups of migrant workers may need increased protection regarding some occupational exposures.
农民工的工作相关健康问题发生率通常高于本地人。然而，关于他们接触职业风险的信息却很少。我们描述了西班牙裔和外国出生工人的自我报告工作暴露情况。这项横断面调查是 ITSAL 项目的一部分。通过面对面访谈收集了 1841 名外国出生和 509 名西班牙工人的社会人口统计学和自我报告职业暴露数据。计算了患病率和调整后的优势比（按年龄、教育程度、合同类型）。非服务业的男性外国出生工人和体力劳动者比西班牙工人接触职业风险的比例较低。外国出生的女性报告的暴露比例高于西班牙女性工人。按职业划分，外国出生的女性工人比西班牙工人更有可能报告每天工作时间长（优势比 2.68；95%置信区间 1.06-6.78）和暴露于极端温度（优势比 2.19；95%置信区间 1.10-4.38）。一些移民工人群体可能需要在某些职业暴露方面增加保护。
