摘要

The purpose of this report is to explore this combination of risk factors, or overlapping vulnerabilities, and to describe their implications for OSH professional practice. A worker with overlapping vulnerabilities is simultaneously a member of two or more at-risk groups such as immigrants, temporary workers, new workers, older workers, small business employees, and non-union workers. Each vulnerability has characteristics that add unique barriers to the worker’s OSH (for example, an immigrant worker's fear of deportation for reporting unsafe conditions) (Flynn 2010) or that intensify existing barriers to safety that are common for all workers (such as lack of training in small businesses due to financial constraints) (Cunningham et al. 2014). As these vulnerabilities are independently associated with additional risk of workplace injury or illness, the interaction between risk factors may create even more risk for groups experiencing multiple vulnerabilities than for those who have only one risk factor. However, more work is needed to clarify how these overlapping vulnerabilities interact and may intensify the risk for occupational injury and illness and how OSH professionals can effectively reduce these risks.
