The purpose of the study was to estimate the death rates from occupational injuries in the province of Quebec for the period 1981 through 1988.
Worker's compensation files were used to ascertain numbers of deaths, which were used as the numerators in figuring the rates (it was estimated that these files reported 83% of the true number of deaths among men). Annual average estimates of the labor force were used as denominators.
From 1981 through 1988, compensation was awarded for 1227 fatal work injuries. Among men (96% of the victims), rates declined from 1981 to 1988 (from 12.7 to 8.1 per 100,000); women's rates were stable (< or = 1.0 per 100,000). Compared with men, women had excess mortality from violent acts. Motor vehicle crashes accounted for 36% of all fatal injuries in 1984 and 1985 and declined thereafter. Fatal injury rates in forestry and mining rose to a 1987 maximum of 67.6 per 100,000. The construction sector had the largest number of deaths, despite a decline in rates from 1981 to 1988 (from 27.8 to 15.9 per 100,000).
Except for construction and agriculture, reported fatal occupational injury rates in Quebec were similar to those in the United States. Motor vehicle crashes, falls, violent acts, and farming-related injuries were the most frequent causes of death.
本研究旨在估算1981年至1988年期间魁北克省职业伤害的死亡率。
利用工人赔偿档案确定死亡人数，将其作为计算死亡率的分子（据估计，这些档案报告了男性死亡真实人数的83%）。劳动力的年度平均估计数用作分母。
1981年至1988年期间，共对1227起致命工伤给予了赔偿。在男性受害者（占受害者的96%）中，死亡率从1981年至1988年有所下降（从每10万人12.7例降至8.1例）；女性的死亡率保持稳定（每10万人≤1.0例）。与男性相比，女性因暴力行为导致的死亡率更高。1984年和1985年，机动车碰撞事故占所有致命伤害的36%，此后有所下降。林业和采矿业的致命伤害率在1987年升至最高，为每10万人67.6例。尽管从1981年至1988年死亡率有所下降（从每10万人27.8例降至15.9例），但建筑部门的死亡人数最多。
除建筑和农业外，魁北克省报告的致命职业伤害率与美国相似。机动车碰撞、跌倒、暴力行为和与农业相关的伤害是最常见的死亡原因。
