Although woodworking is a popular hobby and the woodworking industry employs thousands of workers nationwide, few studies have examined injuries associated with this activity, especially in relation to woodshop tool use. We conducted a survey of amateur and professional woodworkers (n = 283) in New Mexico to determine histories and rates of tool-specific injuries. Injuries associated with woodshop tool use were reported by 64% of all respondents. Hammers, chisels/gouges, and table saws were most frequently reported in association with injuries, although the highest tool-specific injury rates were associated with use of jointer-planers (4.9 injuries per 1000 person-hours of use), chisels/ gouges (3.3 injuries), and drill presses (3.1 injuries). One third reported tool use-associated injuries that were severe enough to require professional medical attention; 5% of all respondents suffered partial amputations. Courses in the safe use of shop tools may help to reduce rates of injuries among woodworkers.
虽然木工是一种流行的爱好，且木工行业在全国雇佣了数千名工人，但很少有研究调查与这项活动相关的伤害，尤其是与木工车间工具使用有关的伤害。我们对新墨西哥州的业余和专业木工（n = 283）进行了一项调查，以确定特定工具伤害的病史和发生率。64%的受访者报告了与木工车间工具使用相关的伤害。锤子、凿子/圆凿和台锯与伤害的关联最为常见，不过特定工具伤害率最高的是平刨床（每使用1000人时发生4.9起伤害）、凿子/圆凿（3.3起伤害）和钻床（3.1起伤害）。三分之一的人报告了严重到需要专业医疗护理的与工具使用相关的伤害；所有受访者中有5%遭受了部分截肢。木工车间工具安全使用课程可能有助于降低木工的伤害发生率。
