Abstract

Background: The food manufacturing industry is a critical economic sector and has been a high-risk industry for COVID-19. This analysis aimed to describe COVID-19 cumulative case incidence rates among Wisconsin food manufacturing workers and their worker's compensation utilization.

Methods: This was a descriptive analysis of COVID-19 cases among food manufacturing industry workers in Wisconsin from October 1, 2020, through December 31, 2021.

Results: Occupations with the highest cumulative case incidence rate (per 1000 workers) were Packers and Packagers, Hand (275; 95% CI, 252-300), Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders (266; 95% CI, 254-277), and Laborers and Freight, Stock and Material Movers, Hand (261; 95% CI, 247-276). Two worker's compensation claims were paid to food manufacturing workers.

Discussion: Wisconsin food manufacturing workers were disproportionately affected by COVID-19, with a high cumulative case incidence rate exceeding that of the manufacturing industry overall, statewide non-institutionalized working-age adults, and the ambulatory health care industry. There was also a disproportionately low use of worker's compensation benefits in Wisconsin compared to the high COVID-19 disease incidence. Improved worker protections for occupational infectious diseases with high risk of transmission are needed as well as improvements to the worker's compensation system.

2020 年 10 月 1 日至 2021 年 12 月 31 日威斯康星州食品制造业 COVID-19 发病率和工伤赔偿使用情况。
背景:食品制造业是一个重要的经济部门,也是 COVID-19 的高危行业。本分析旨在描述威斯康星州食品制造业工人的 COVID-19 累计病例发病率及其工伤赔偿使用情况:这是一项对威斯康星州食品制造业工人自 2020 年 10 月 1 日至 2021 年 12 月 31 日期间 COVID-19 病例的描述性分析:累计病例发生率最高的职业(每 1000 名工人)是手工包装工(275 人;95% CI,252-300 人)、包装和灌装机操作工和调试工(266 人;95% CI,254-277 人)以及手工工人和货运、库存和材料搬运工(261 人;95% CI,247-276 人)。食品制造业工人有两起工伤索赔:讨论:威斯康星州食品制造业工人受 COVID-19 的影响尤为严重,其累计病例发病率高于整个制造业、全州非住院劳动适龄成年人和非住院医疗保健行业。与 COVID-19 的高发病率相比,威斯康星州的工伤赔偿金使用率也低得不成比例。需要加强对传播风险高的职业传染病的工人保护,并改进工人赔偿制度。
