We investigated the incidence of 10 types of injury: fall on same level, fall to lower level, handling materials\/machine parts during assembly, handling objects, lifting\/handling equipment, collision with\/by moving objects, collision with\/by vehicles, operating machines\/equipment, using hand tools and other injuries. Data were analysed using negative binomial regression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Workers aged &lt;25\u2005years were subject to a higher injury risk from handling materials\/machine parts during assembly, and collision with\/by moving objects or vehicles. Older workers, especially those aged 50\u201355\u2005years, were subject to a higher risk of fall and injury resulting from lifting\/handling materials\/equipment\/objects or from collision with\/by moving objects\/vehicles. Using hand tools was a risky task for workers aged &lt;30 or \u226540\u2005years. The relative risk decreased steadily with increasing length of service with the company, from 2.6 for 1\u2005year to 1.0 for \u226530\u2005years, and the slope of the trend is stronger for fall to lower level, lifting\/handling materials\/equipment and collision with\/by moving objects.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Younger and older ages and shorter length of service are at risk for various types of injuries. Preventive measures should improve working conditions, especially for younger\/older ages, provide knowledge through specific training during the first years in a job and help workers to be more aware of risks associated with their age, years of employment and job.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2008.043281","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,9]],"date-time":"2009-09-09T00:13:10Z","timestamp":1252455190000},"page":"147-153","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Roles of age, length of service and job in work-related injury: a prospective study of 446\u2009120 person-years in railway workers"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"N","family":"Chau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Wild","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Dehaene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Benamghar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J M","family":"Mur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Touron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024052300042289000_67.3.147.1","unstructured":"International Labour Office.
