BACKGROUND
Job-appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is important for decreasing the high rates of occupational injury experienced by poultry processing workers.
OBJECTIVES
This analysis describes the job-appropriate PPE provided to poultry processing workers by their employers and the PPE used by these workers, and it delineates the association of work safety climate with job-appropriate PPE.
METHODS
Data are from a cross-sectional study of 403 Latino poultry processing workers in North Carolina.
RESULTS
Most poultry processing workers are not provided with nor use job-appropriate PPE; however, more workers use PPE than are provided. The provision and use of PPE differs by employer. Work safety climate was associated with use of job-appropriate PPE.
CONCLUSIONS
Poultry processing workers should be provided with job-appropriate PPE. Workers' use of PPE is an indicator of safety climate. Further research about work safety climate and other work organization characteristics and job safety characteristics is needed.
背景
适合工作的个人防护装备（PPE）对于降低家禽加工工人的高职业伤害率至关重要。
目的
本分析描述了雇主提供给家禽加工工人的适合工作的PPE以及这些工人使用的PPE，并阐述了工作安全氛围与适合工作的PPE之间的关联。
方法
数据来自对北卡罗来纳州403名拉丁裔家禽加工工人的横断面研究。
结果
大多数家禽加工工人未获得也未使用适合工作的PPE；然而，使用PPE的工人比获得PPE的工人更多。PPE的提供和使用因雇主而异。工作安全氛围与使用适合工作的PPE相关。
结论
应向家禽加工工人提供适合工作的PPE。工人对PPE的使用是安全氛围的一个指标。需要对工作安全氛围以及其他工作组织特征和工作安全特征进行进一步研究。
