Injury rates higher among disabled workers: study

摘要

Columbus, OH - Workers with disabilities are more likely to be injured on and off the job than workers without disabilities, finds a study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy of the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital and Ohio State University. Analyzing data from the 2006-2010 National Health Interview Survey, researchers found the annual rate of occupational injuries was 6.0 per 100 workers with disabilities and 2.3 for workers without disabilities, according to a press release from Nationwide Children's Hospital.
