evaluated in morę detail because they eon-stitute a major proportion of all injuries. Lacerations involve arms, wrists, hands, and fingers about 83% of the time. In al-most 55% af all lacerations, fingers are in-voived. For strains and sprains, 42% involve the back and 10% involve the shoulder; in fact, 87% of all reported back injuries are sprains or strains.
Table 4 shows the distribution by type of accident (external cause). Of all injured workers, 44% are struck by or against an object and 33% are injured by lifting, pull-ing, throwing, or overexertion. The “source of injury" also varies. Hand tools are asso-
• ciated with 47% of injuries with known sources; knives (a type of handtool) alone account for about 19% of all injuries. Over 6% of injuries are associated with the “floor or ground". “Animals and their products” are involved in over 6% of all injuries.
DiSCUSSION_
The occupations associated with the most injuries in the meatpacking industry are butcher, meat cutter, meat wrapper, and packer. One reason may be the large proportion of these workers employed in this industry. The majority of their injuries are strains, sprains, lacerations, and contusions; the body parts commonly injured are the wrist, hand, and finger. These clinical find-ings are consistent with their job tasks —us-ing hand tools, especially knives, and mani-pulating large animal carcasses. This information suggests preventive efforts should be targeted at decreasing injury oc-currence among these workers.
