Occupational injuries and illnesses among Washington State agricultural workers
In Washington state 29,451 workers' compensation claims were filed by farm workers between 1982 and 1986. Five percent of claimants were under 18 years of age, including 1.3% under the age of 16. Agricultural workers were found to be at higher risk than other workers in the state for fatal injury (relative risk [RR] = 2.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.7-3.7), sprains and strains (RR = 1.4, CI = 1.3-1.4), fractures (RR = 2.3, CI = 2.2-2.4), di…
The effects of removing a statutory barrier to workers' compensation for farm workers
In 1983 the Washington State Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional a unique exemption that excluded farm workers from workers' compensation if they had not earned $150 in continuous work with the same employer. In order to examine the effect of removing this restriction, workers' compensation data were analyzed to examine the number of farm workers covered, the number of claims submitted, and claim acceptance rates before and after the ruling.

Leptospiral exposure in Detroit rodent control workers
Antibody levels to L. icterohemorrhagiae of rodent control workers and two control groups were compared with antibodies against five other leptospiral serotypes carried predominantly by species other than rats. Rodent control workers contact urban rats, 77 per cent of which are carriers of leptospiral organisms. Rodent control workers had higher antibody levels against L. icterohemorrhagiae than control groups (OR 4.37, 99 per cent CI = 3.0, 6.3 …
