- Abstract
The article summarizes the results of an analysis by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and state agencies which characterized work-related injury deaths among Hispanic workers in the U.S. The death rate was found to decrease during 1992-2006 but was higher than the rate for all U.S. workers. The proportion of deaths among foreign-born Hispanic workers increased over time. The most common industries employing Hispanics who died from work related injuries during 2003-2006 included construction and administrative and waste services.
