The significant thing for me was that he was a temporally employed worker. Nearly* every index and study reveal these precarious workers to be at greater risk. Go to the Global Forum for Health Research's web-site (www.globalforumhealth.org ) and read their report "Setting research priorities in occupational safety and health" which extensively discusses this problem.

*The one exception of which I am aware is a paper by Underhill 2005 where part-time professional people (their study was of nurses) had better mental health (Underhill E., 2005, Winners or losers? Work/Life Balance, Labour and Industry,13 (2) 29 – 59)
