In the construction industry of Switzerland, immigrant workers had a higher injury rate than Swiss workers [28].
In conclusion, the situation of immigrant workers varied in European countries.
The highest difference between immigrant and native workers was in Spain, where immigrants had even four times more occupational injuries than native workers.
On the other hand, in Scandinavian countries immigrants were involved in occupational injuries less than the native population.
The work life situation of immigrant workers is obviously different in these countries.
