This paper examines the association of occupational injuries with work safety culture among Latinx child farmworkers.
Interviews were conducted in 2017 with 202 Latinx farmworkers aged 10 to 17 years.
Occupational injuries were common among the child farmworkers: for example, 66.8% reported any work injury and 45.5% reported heat-related illness. Work safety culture was inadequate; for example, most did not receive safety training, one-third reported having worked piece-rate; only a few field sanitation services were available, and perceived work safety climate was low. Work safety culture had a mixed association with occupational injuries, with safety training and a better perceived work safety climate having a direct association with occupational injuries.
Policy is needed to reduce child farmworker injuries. Strategies to improve the predictive value of the work safety culture model are required.
本文探讨了拉丁裔童工农场工人职业伤害与工作安全文化之间的关联。
2017 年对 202 名年龄在 10 至 17 岁的拉丁裔农场工人进行了访谈。
童工农场工人中常见职业伤害:例如,66.8%报告有任何工作伤害,45.5%报告有热相关疾病。工作安全文化不足;例如,大多数人没有接受安全培训,三分之一的人报告实行计件工资,只有少数田间卫生服务可用,感知工作安全氛围较低。工作安全文化与职业伤害之间存在混合关联,安全培训和更好的感知工作安全氛围与职业伤害直接相关。
需要制定政策来减少童工农场工人的受伤。需要采取策略来提高工作安全文化模型的预测价值。
