Extensive media coverage of work-related homicides at U.S. Postal Service facilities raised the concern about whether postal workers are at increased risk for work-related homicide, particularly from those committed by disgruntled coworkers. Based on national surveillance data, neither the Postal Service industry nor postal occupations are among the groups at increased risk for work-related homicide. To further assess this concern and to determine the relative magnitude of occupational injury deaths in the Postal Service, CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) used data from its National Traumatic Occupational Fatalities (NTOF) surveillance system to examine occupational injury deaths in the Postal Service and compare Postal Service fatality rates with overall rates for all U.S. industries. This report summarizes the results of that analysis.
美国邮政设施发生的与工作相关的杀人事件受到媒体广泛报道，这引发了人们对邮政工作人员是否面临更高的与工作相关杀人风险的担忧，尤其是来自心怀不满的同事实施的此类行为。根据国家监测数据，邮政服务行业和邮政职业都不在与工作相关杀人风险增加的群体之列。为了进一步评估这一担忧并确定邮政服务中职业伤害死亡的相对规模，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）利用其国家创伤职业死亡（NTOF）监测系统的数据，对邮政服务中的职业伤害死亡情况进行了研究，并将邮政服务的死亡率与美国所有行业的总体死亡率进行了比较。本报告总结了该分析结果。
