Information on foreign-born worker (FBW) and native-born worker (NBW) fatal injuries is scarce. The Kentucky Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation program analyzed 2001-2014 worker fatality data. The Kentucky FBW fatality rate was double the US FBW and NBW rates, and 50% higher than the Kentucky NBW fatality rate. FBW average age at death was 38 years; NBW age was 47 years. FBW deaths occurred in construction (26%) and services (22%) industries, and transportation [28% (54% due to semi truck crashes)] and construction [26%(48% due to roofing, scaffolding, and ladder-related falls)] occupations; in contrast, NBW deaths occurred in services (22%), and transportation (18%) industries, and transportation (25%) and management (20%) occupations, and were due to exposures to inanimate mechanical forces (38%), and transport accidents (30%). Enhanced FBW cultural competent interventions and policies are needed to prevent FBW occupational injuries, and improve FBW workplace safety and health.
关于外国出生工人（FBW）和本地出生工人（NBW）致命伤害的信息很少。肯塔基州死亡评估与控制评估项目分析了2001年至2014年的工人死亡数据。肯塔基州FBW的死亡率是美国FBW和NBW死亡率的两倍，比肯塔基州NBW的死亡率高50%。FBW的平均死亡年龄为38岁；NBW为47岁。FBW死亡发生在建筑行业（26%）和服务业（22%），以及运输业[28%（其中54%是由于半挂车撞车）]和建筑行业[26%（其中48%是由于屋顶作业、脚手架和梯子相关的坠落）]；相比之下，NBW死亡发生在服务业（22%）和运输业（18%），以及运输业（25%）和管理业（20%），原因是接触无生命机械力（38%）和运输事故（30%）。需要加强针对FBW的文化胜任力干预措施和政策，以预防FBW的职业伤害，提高FBW的工作场所安全与健康水平。
