Solid waste collector injuries were characterized in terms of injury risk and employment industry sector (public versus private) using Kentucky workers' compensation first reports of injury and claims data. When compared to 35\u201344-year-old workers, solid waste collectors who were under 35 years of age were less likely to have a workers' compensation first report of injury or claim that resulted in awarded benefits. The probability that a workers' compensation first report of injury or claim would result in an awarded benefit was higher if the worker was employed as a solid waste collector in the private sector compared to the public sector, or was injured due to a motor vehicle-related injury or a push-or-pull type of injury. A better understanding of the differences in the contributing factors for an injury that results in a first report of injury or claim with awarded benefits (e.g. job activities, new and refresher worker safety training, type of equipment used, differences in collection vehicle automation, and differential reporting of injuries on the job) between the public and private sectors is necessary to target injury prevention strategies in this high-risk occupation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0734242x11410115","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,11]],"date-time":"2011-07-11T22:55:33Z","timestamp":1310424933000},"page":"1043-1052","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Injuries among solid waste collectors in the private versus public sectors"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Terry L.","family":"Bunn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Medicine and Environmental Health, University of Kentucky College of Public Health, Lexington, KY, USA."},{"name":"Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center, University of Kentucky College of Public Health, Lexington, KY, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Svetla","family":"Slavova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, University of Kentucky College of Public Health, Lexington, KY, USA."},{"name":"Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center, University of Kentucky College of Public Health, Lexington, KY, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minao","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA."},{"name":"Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center, University of Kentucky College of Public Health, Lexington, KY, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0734242X11410115","unstructured":"American Medical Association, Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Fifth Edition, November 2000.
