摘要：

A retrospective analysis of injury data was performed to determine if the risk of amputation for press operators is affected by their age or gender. Workers' compensation data from 28 states were examined for a 3-year period. A total of 628 claims were found for press-related amputations incurred by press operators. Results indicated that risk of amputation was not dependent in gender. Risk was, however, associated with age. The youngest press operators were at greatest risk of amputation. This result may be due, in part, to insufficient training for many young workers who are assigned to operate power presses.
