To define the rates and characteristics of fatal occupational injuries among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) in the United States, we examined death certificates included in the National Traumatic Occupational Fatalities data base for deaths occurring from 1980 to 1988. Two hundred and seventy-four work-related deaths among AI/AN civilians (259 men, 15 women) were identified. In 1980, the fatality rate among employed AI/AN was 5.5/100,000 workers compared with 7.7/100,000 workers for the United States. Ninety percent of the AI/AN deaths were from unintentional injury, 6% from homicide, and 3% from suicide. The pattern of fatal occupational injuries among AI/AN differs from that for all races combined, especially with regard to the larger percent of AI/AN fatalities in the agriculture, forestry, and fishing industry and the high proportion of water transportation incidents.
为确定美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）中致命职业伤害的发生率及特征，我们查阅了1980年至1988年期间全国创伤性职业死亡数据库中的死亡证明。共识别出274例AI/AN平民的工作相关死亡（259名男性，15名女性）。1980年，就业的AI/AN人群中死亡率为每10万名工人5.5例，而美国为每10万名工人7.7例。AI/AN死亡中有90%来自意外伤害，6%来自他杀，3%来自自杀。AI/AN中致命职业伤害的模式与所有种族合并后的模式不同，特别是在农业、林业和渔业中AI/AN死亡比例较大以及水上运输事故比例较高方面。
