Forst L et al. – Hispanics were more highly represented than expected; their number of injuries steadily rose. Hispanics were more likely to be injured by machinery and hand tools. Workers reported hazardous working conditions, lack of workers compensation, short time in current employment, and not working in their usual job. Trauma systems can provide a glimpse of risk factors for severe injuries in vulnerable workers. The authors recommend greater use of this data source, follow backs, long–term follow up of individuals, and improvement of surveillance of vulnerable working populations.
