A study of workers in a heavy industry shows that the proportion of workers with excessive injuries in two successive time periods did not exceed that expected by chance. While accident repeaters may exist, they were not a stable component of this workforce. Removing individuals with excessive injuries in a given time would not appreciably reduce the number of injuries in succeeding periods. Unlike earlier studies, this analysis was based on medically attended injuries only and controlled for job hazards, exposure, age, and changes in job and location.
一项针对重工业工人的研究表明，在两个连续时间段内受伤过多的工人比例并未超过偶然预期的比例。虽然可能存在事故重复发生者，但他们并非该劳动力群体中的稳定组成部分。在特定时间段内去除受伤过多的个体并不会显著减少后续时间段内的受伤数量。与早期研究不同，该分析仅基于接受医疗护理的损伤，并对工作危险、暴露情况、年龄以及工作和地点的变化进行了控制。
