Researchers from Wake Forest Baptist and Centro Latino of Caldwell County interviewed Latino poultry workers in six western counties: Alexander, Burke, Caldwell, Surry, Wilkes and Yadkin. The survey was based on a representative sample of workers in those counties, according to a medical center news release.
The researchers said that, on average, the injury rate from plants exceeded the rate reported to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. In 2003, North Carolina reported that 9.4 percent of its poultry workers were injured or got ill on the job.
