All except 17 (1.7%) of 990 fire fighters employed by the Western Australian Fire Brigade between 1 October 1939 and 31 December 1978 were successfully followed up to 31 December 1978. Mortality from all causes was less than expected (SMR 0.80 with 95% confidence interval 0.67 to 0.96). There was evidence of the healthy worker effect but none that mortality increased with increasing duration of employment. A small proportional excess of deaths from road traffic accidents ( SPMR 1.66) appeared to be unrelated to fire service. Deaths from other accidents, poisonings, and violence were significantly less than expected (SMR 0.35 with 95% confidence interval 0.10 to 0.90) and may indicate an effect of training and experience on accident proneness. There was no evidence of increased mortality from cardiovascular or respiratory disease, or from any other cause.
在1939年10月1日至1978年12月31日期间受雇于西澳大利亚消防队的990名消防员中，除17人（1.7%）外，其余人员均成功随访至1978年12月31日。所有原因导致的死亡率低于预期（标准化死亡比为0.80，95%置信区间为0.67至0.96）。有证据表明存在健康工人效应，但没有证据表明死亡率会随着工作年限的增加而上升。道路交通意外死亡比例略高（标准化比例死亡比为1.66），但似乎与消防工作无关。其他意外、中毒及暴力导致的死亡显著低于预期（标准化死亡比为0.35，95%置信区间为0.10至0.90），这可能表明培训和经验对事故易发性有影响。没有证据表明心血管疾病、呼吸系统疾病或任何其他原因导致的死亡率增加。
