A clinical evaluation of the skin changes and injuries among refuse (waste) collectors in San Francisco was conducted in 1983. Almost 75% had palmar calluses--a result of repeated pressure and friction. Those workers who protected their hands with gloves had practically normal skin, with minor or absent calluses. The majority of waste collectors sustained work-related injuries each year. These consisted mainly of sprains, abrasions and lacerations, fractures, and eye injuries. Based on the injury rate, waste collection is a hazardous occupation. The skin is invariably traumatized.
1983年对旧金山垃圾收集工的皮肤变化和损伤进行了临床评估。近75%的人手掌有老茧，这是反复受压和摩擦的结果。那些戴手套保护手部的工人皮肤基本正常，老茧轻微或没有。大多数垃圾收集工每年都会遭受与工作相关的伤害。这些伤害主要包括扭伤、擦伤和撕裂伤、骨折以及眼部损伤。根据受伤率，垃圾收集是一项危险的职业。皮肤总是会受到创伤。
