BACKGROUND
Coal mining is a hazardous industry. The purpose of the study is to identify the nature of occupational injuries and diseases among coal miners and to determine the factors that affect the rate of injury and duration of time loss from work.
METHODS
A retrospective cohort study was conducted using accepted workers' compensation claims data of 30,390 Australian coal miners between July 2003 and June 2017.
RESULTS
Musculoskeletal and fracture conditions accounted for approximately 60% of claims in all occupational groups. Cox regression analysis showed that older age and female gender were significant predictors of longer time off work. Injury types and occupations were associated with work time loss: mental health conditions, and machine operators and drivers had significantly longer durations of time off work.
CONCLUSION
Future research can further address how these factors led to longer time off work so that coal industry regulators, employers, and healthcare providers can target interventions more effectively to these at-risk workers.
背景
煤矿开采是一个危险行业。本研究的目的是确定煤矿工人职业伤害和疾病的性质，并确定影响受伤率和误工时间的因素。
方法
采用回顾性队列研究，使用2003年7月至2017年6月期间30390名澳大利亚煤矿工人的工伤赔偿申请数据。
结果
肌肉骨骼和骨折情况在所有职业组的索赔中约占60%。Cox回归分析表明，年龄较大和女性是误工时间较长的显著预测因素。伤害类型和职业与误工时间有关：心理健康状况，以及机器操作员和司机的误工时间明显更长。
结论
未来的研究可以进一步探讨这些因素如何导致更长的误工时间，以便煤炭行业监管机构、雇主和医疗服务提供者能够更有效地针对这些高危工人进行干预。
