Abstract

Introduction: Construction industries have a complex nature, so they have a high rate of Occupational accidents. Construction workers are known as one of the most stressful jobs. In addition to the mental health of employees, Occupational stress also has a negative effect on the safety of the workplace. The present study investigates Occupational accidents and job stress in a construction company and its relationship with the Demographic characteristics of employees. Materials and Methods: In the present study, occupational accident reports in a construction company were examined. After removing the incomplete reports, the information on 100 accidents such as the type of accident, the cause of the accident, the consequence of the accident, and the person who experienced the accident was collected. After collecting the accident data, the job stress of the injured employee was checked using the Osipow Job Stress Questionnaire. Data analysis was done in SPSS-24 software. Results: The results showed that slipping and falling from a height had the highest frequency (41%), and electrocution had the lowest frequency (8%) among the accidents. The majority of the injured employees (96%) were placed in the moderate to severe stress group. No significant relationship was found between Occupational accidents and demographic variables (P>0. 05). Also, a positive and significant relationship was found between job experience and job stress (P<0. 05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that it is necessary to take safety measures to reduce fall accidents. Due to the negative effects of Occupational stress, it is recommended to implement measures such as developing a training program and holding stress management workshops, increasing organizational support, and identifying and adjusting stress sources.
