Research into workplace injuries traditionally focuses upon discrete injury events, such as falls, violence, contact with machinery and other traumatic events. By comparison, research literature on work-related injury events involving fire is sparse, despite the fact that fires can produce particularly severe injuries and involve multiple victims. Comparatively little is consequently known about the workplaces and workers involved in fire incidents and the circumstances surrounding these ignitions. This research addresses this knowledge gap by reviewing workplace investigation reports of fatal fires conducted by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration in order to identify critical factors in fatal fire incidents between 2013 and 2017. The research indicates that fatal injuries involving fire encompassed a broad range of occupations and work processes. Greater attention to training in hazard recognition and prevention are needed to reduce the threat of fire in work environments where ignition sources coexist with combustible materials.

使用 OSHA 调查摘要来描述涉及火灾的致命工伤

对工作场所伤害的研究传统上侧重于离散的伤害事件,例如跌倒、暴力、接触机器和其他创伤事件。相比之下,尽管火灾会造成特别严重的伤害并涉及多名受害者,但关于与火灾有关的工伤事件的研究文献却很少。因此,人们对火灾事故中涉及的工作场所和工人以及这些起火事件的周围情况知之甚少。本研究通过审查职业健康与安全管理局对致命火灾的工作场所调查报告来解决这一知识差距,以确定 2013 年至 2017 年间致命火灾事故的关键因素。研究表明,涉及火灾的致命伤害涵盖了广泛的职业和工作流程。需要更多地关注危险识别和预防方面的培训,以减少点火源与可燃材料共存的工作环境中的火灾威胁。
