A review of Texas death certificates for 1975-84 identified 348 cases of fatal occupational injuries of civilian females. Homicides accounted for 53 per cent and motor vehicle-related injuries accounted for 26 per cent of the deaths. Injuries from firearms caused 70 per cent of the homicides. One hundred thirty-three deaths occurred to women employed in the retail trade industry; of these, 77 per cent resulted from homicide. Women workers in gasoline service stations, food-bakery-and-dairy stores, and eating-and-drinking places had especially high risks of homicide. Texas female heavy-truck drivers had the highest fatal-injury rate, with motor-vehicle-related injuries causing 89 per cent of their deaths. These results indicate that effective strategies to prevent fatal occupational injuries of Texas women will need to address the problems of workplace violence and the hazards posed by motor vehicles.
一项对1975年至1984年得克萨斯州死亡证明的审查发现了348例平民女性致命职业伤害案例。凶杀案占死亡人数的53%，与机动车相关的伤害占26%。枪支造成的伤害导致了70%的凶杀案。零售贸易行业的女性中有133人死亡；其中77%是由凶杀案导致的。在加油站、食品烘焙店和乳品店以及饮食场所工作的女性遭受凶杀的风险尤其高。得克萨斯州的女性重型卡车司机的致命伤害率最高，与机动车相关的伤害导致了她们89%的死亡。这些结果表明，预防得克萨斯州女性致命职业伤害的有效策略需要解决工作场所暴力问题以及机动车带来的危害。
