abstract="OBJECTIVE: This paper examines the association of occupational injuries with work safety culture among child Latinx farmworkers.   METHODS: Interviews were conducted in 2017 with 202 Latinx farmworkers aged 10 to 17 years.   RESULTS: Occupational injuries were common among the child farmworkers: e.g., 66.8% reported any work injury and 45.5% reported heat-related illness. Work safety culture was inadequate; e.g., most did not receive safety training, one-third reported having worked piece-rate; only a few field sanitation services were available, and perceived work safety climate was low. Work safety culture had a mixed association with occupational injuries, with safety training and a better perceived work safety climate having a direct association with occupational injuries.   CONCLUSIONS: Policy is needed to reduce child farmworker injuries. Strategies to improve the predictive value of the work safety culture model are required.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
