PROBLEM
Compared to other industries, construction workers have higher risks for serious fall injuries. This study describes the burden and circumstances surrounding injuries related to compensable slip, trip, and fall (STF) claims from private construction industries covered by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation.
METHODS
STF injury claims in the Ohio construction industry from 2010-2017 were manually reviewed. Claims were classified as: slips or trips without a fall (STWOF), falls on the same level (FSL), falls to a lower level (FLL), and other. Claim narratives were categorized by work-related risk and contributing factors. Demographic, employer, and injury characteristics were examined by fall type and claim type (medical-only (MO, 0-7 days away from work, DAFW) or lost-time (LT, ≥8 DAFW)). Claim rates per 10,000 estimated full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) were calculated.
RESULTS
9,517 Ohio construction industry STF claims occurred during the 8-year period, with an average annual rate of 75 claims per 10,000 FTEs. The rate of STFs decreased by 37% from 2010 to 2017. About half of the claims were FLL (51%), 29% were FSL, 17% were STWOF, and 3% were "other." Nearly 40% of all STF claims were LT; mostly among males (96%). The top three contributing factors for STWOF and FSL were: slip/trip hazards, floor irregularities, and ice/snow; and ladders, vehicles, and stairs/steps for FLL. FLL injury rates per 10,000 FTE were highest in these industries: Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors (52); Building Finishing Contractors (45); and Residential Building Construction (45). The highest rate of FLL LT claims occurred in the smallest firms, and the FLL rate decreased as construction firm size increased. Discussion and Practical Applications: STF rates declined over time, yet remain common, requiring prevention activities. Safety professionals should focus on contributing factors when developing prevention strategies, especially high-risk subsectors and small firms.
问题
与其他行业相比，建筑工人发生严重跌倒伤害的风险更高。本研究描述了俄亥俄州工人赔偿局所涵盖的私营建筑行业中与可赔偿滑倒、绊倒和跌倒（STF）索赔相关的伤害负担和情况。
方法
对 2010-2017 年俄亥俄州建筑行业的 STF 伤害索赔进行了手动审查。索赔分为：无跌倒的滑倒或绊倒（STWOF）、同一水平跌倒（FSL）、向较低水平跌倒（FLL）和其他。根据与工作相关的风险和促成因素对索赔说明进行了分类。通过跌倒类型和索赔类型（医疗仅（MO，0-7 天离开工作（DAFW）或失去时间（LT，≥8 DAFW））检查了人口统计学、雇主和伤害特征。每 10,000 名估计全职等效员工（FTE）的索赔率进行了计算。
结果
在 8 年期间，俄亥俄州建筑行业发生了 9517 起 STF 索赔，平均每年每 10,000 名 FTE 发生 75 起索赔。2010 年至 2017 年，STF 发生率下降了 37%。约一半的索赔是 FLL（51%），29%是 FSL，17%是 STWOF，3%是“其他”。近 40%的 STF 索赔是 LT；主要是男性（96%）。STWOF 和 FSL 的三个主要促成因素是：滑倒/绊倒的危险、地面不平整和冰/雪；以及梯子、车辆和楼梯/台阶的 FLL。在这些行业中，每 10,000 名 FTE 的 FLL 伤害率最高：基础、结构和建筑外墙承包商（52）；建筑装修承包商（45）；和住宅建筑施工（45）。最小的公司中 FLL LT 索赔率最高，随着建筑公司规模的增加，FLL 率下降。讨论和实际应用：STF 率随时间下降，但仍很常见，需要采取预防措施。安全专业人员在制定预防策略时应重点关注促成因素，特别是高风险的子行业和小公司。
