Changes in occupational injury mortality rates over the 1980s were examined through analysis of the National Traumatic Occupational Fatalities surveillance system. The US occupational injury mortality rate decreased 37% over the decade, with decreases seen in nearly every demographic and employment sector. Greater declines were among men, Blacks, and younger workers, as well as among agricultural, trade, and service workers. Electrocutions, machine-related incidents, and homicides showed the greatest decreases. Changes in occupational mortality rates by demography, industry, and cause of death indicate the areas in which the most progress has been made and those that are prime targets for prevention efforts.
通过对国家创伤职业死亡监测系统的分析，研究了20世纪80年代职业伤害死亡率的变化情况。在这十年间，美国职业伤害死亡率下降了37%，几乎每个年龄段和就业部门的死亡率都有所下降。男性、黑人、年轻工人以及农业、贸易和服务业工人的死亡率下降幅度更大。触电、与机器相关的事故和凶杀案的死亡率下降幅度最大。按人口统计学、行业和死因划分的职业死亡率变化表明了取得最大进展的领域以及预防工作的主要目标领域。
