Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS p5R0x8nu. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. This population-based case-control study of North Carolina workplaces evaluated the hypothesis that employers'policies allowing firearms in the workplace may increase workers'risk of homicide. Workplaces where guns were permitted were about 5 times as likely to experience a homicide as those where all weapons were prohibited (adjusted odds ratio=4.81 ; 95% confidence interval=1.70,13.65). The association remained after adjustment for other risk factors. The findings suggest that policies allowing guns in the workplace might increase workers'risk of homicide.
