Room cleaning work, known be physically hazardous, was particular concern. Results A total 2,865 reported during 55,327 worker-years observation. The overall rate 5.2 per 100 worker-years. highest housekeepers (7.9), Hispanic (10.6), about double in three versus two others. Acute trauma kitchen workers (4.0/100) (3.9/100); also had the musculoskeletal disorders (3.2/100). Age, being female or Hispanic, job title, company all independently associated with risk. Conclusion Sex- ethnicity-based disparities only partially due type held which work performed. Am. J. Ind. Med. 53:116–125 2010. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
