| Resumen |
There is convincing evidence that occupational injury and illness rates reported by employers substantially underestimate the true magnitude of injury and illness in the construction industry. Fifteen years of data from five large representative data sources in the United States were analysed. Regression trends and ratio analyses were conducted, and stratified by establishment size and Hispanic ethnicity. Findings are discussed. Underreporting was found to be pervasive for small establishments and Hispanic workers. Given that small establishments are predominant in the construction industry, they should be the focus of a larger effort to identify the true extent of construction-related injuries. |
