OBJECTIVES: To assess the relationships of job, age, and life conditions with the causes and severity of @entity5281 in male construction labourers. METHODS: The sample included 880 male construction workers having had at least one @entity5281 with subsequent sick leave. The survey used a standardised questionnaire, filled in by the occupational physician in the presence of the subject: socio-demographic data, job, safety training, smoking habit, @entity167 consumption, sporting activities, physical disabilities, hearing, vision, and @entity25 . Statistical analysis was via the logistic regression method. RESULTS: Logistic models showed that falls and injuries from the handling of objects or hand tools was similar for all jobs, while masons, plumbers and electricians had a higher risk of injury from moving objects, and carpenters, roofers and civil-engineering workers were more exposed to injury from construction machinery and devices. Age <30 was related to injury from hand tools [adjusted OR (95%CI) 2.20 (1.28-3.79)]; @entity25 and @entity2167 to those from moving objects [ORs 2.29 (1.27-4.12) and 1.85 (1.01-3.41) respectively]; no sporting activity to those from the handling of objects [ @entity20797 (1.09-2.17)]; and being overweight to falls on the same level [OR 2.04 (1.30-3.21)] and falls to a lower level [ @entity8093 (1.13-2.13)]. Injuries from the handling of objects were less frequent in overweight workers [OR 0.62 (0.46-0.84)]. Injuries with hospitalisation or sick leave > or =60 days were associated with age > or =30 and @entity2167 . CONCLUSIONS: The causes of injuries were related to jobs. Prevention through working conditions could be made against the revealed risks. The risks for each worker depended on age, body mass index, @entity2167 , @entity25 , and sporting activities. The occupational physician could inform the workers of these risks and encourage them to practise sporting activities and reduce their @entity2167 and @entity25 .
