| Abstract |
Women experienced fewer fatal and nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses in the USA than men during the 1992-2003 period; homicide was the leading source of fatal injuries for women, and musculoskeletal disorders were the primary source of nonfatal injuries and illnesses. This article presents the salient occupational injury, illness and fatality statistics for women workers in the USA and discusses some of the key safety issues concerning this population with regard to the risk of occupational injuries. |
