Critical Review Analysis for Injury Related Research in the Meatpacking Industry (SIC 2011)

摘要

A survey of injuries occurring in the meatpacking industry (SIC-2011) was conducted. Two data bases (the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Supplementary Data System) for the period 1976 to 1981 were used. About 30.5 percent of all injuries were cuts and lacerations and 31 percent were sprains and strains. The author concludes that in the meatpacking industry, young and inexperienced workers have the greatest risk of being injured.
