The majority of day laborers in the USA are Latinos. They are engaged in high-risk occupations and suffer high occupational injury rates.
To describe on-the-job injuries reported by Latino day laborers, explore the extent that demographic and occupational factors predict injuries, and whether summative measures for total job types, job conditions, and personal protective equipment (PPE) predict injuries.
A community survey was conducted with 327 participants at 15 corners in Houston, Texas. Hierarchical and multiple logistic regressions explored predictors of occupational injury odds in the last year.
Thirty-four percent of respondents reported an occupational injury in the previous year. Education, exposure to loud noises, cold temperatures, vibrating machinery, use of hard hats, total number of job conditions, and total PPE significantly predicted injury odds.
Risk for injury among day laborers is not only the product of a specific hazard, but also the result of their exposure to multiple occupational hazards.
美国的大多数日工是拉丁裔。他们从事高风险职业，职业伤害率很高。
描述拉丁裔日工报告的在职伤害情况，探讨人口统计学和职业因素预测伤害的程度，以及工作类型、工作条件和个人防护装备（PPE）的综合措施是否能预测伤害。
在得克萨斯州休斯顿的15个街角对327名参与者进行了社区调查。分层和多重逻辑回归分析了去年职业伤害几率的预测因素。
34%的受访者报告前一年有职业伤害。教育程度、接触噪音、寒冷温度、振动机械、使用安全帽、工作条件总数和个人防护装备总数显著预测了伤害几率。
日工的受伤风险不仅是特定危害的产物，也是他们接触多种职业危害的结果。
