OBJECTIVE
This study employed analysis of workers' compensation (WC) claims in the landscaping services industry to identify occupational factors associated with claims from workers of different ages.
METHODS
Private sector claims for 2005 to 2017 to the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (OHBWC) and their free-text descriptions were used along with data from the US Census Bureau American Community Survey to examine rates and types of WC claims by worker age.
RESULTS
Although the claim rate for younger workers was higher than that for older workers overall (593 vs 261 per 10,000 full-time equivalent employees, P < 0.001), claims from older workers had higher nonzero median cost ($1002 vs $522, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS
Analysis of WC claim rates shows significant differences between claims in different age groups. These differences can be used to target safety interventions for the greatest impact.
目的
本研究通过对景观服务行业工人赔偿（WC）索赔的分析，确定与不同年龄段工人索赔相关的职业因素。
方法
利用俄亥俄州工人赔偿局（OHBWC）2005 年至 2017 年私营部门的索赔及其自由文本描述，以及美国人口普查局美国社区调查的数据，研究工人年龄的 WC 索赔率和类型。
结果
尽管总体而言，年轻工人的索赔率高于老年工人（593 比 261/每 10000 名全职等效员工，P<0.001），但老年工人的索赔中非零中位数成本更高（1002 比 522，P<0.001）。
结论
WC 索赔率的分析显示不同年龄段索赔之间存在显著差异。这些差异可用于针对最大影响进行安全干预。
