There were significant statistical correlations between the variables of the injuries with age, as well as the injuries with occupational groups and work settings (P=0.04, 0.000 and 0.000) respectively. According to the results, it was found that the most threatening unit was emergency ward (53.6%). The most dangerous instrument were needles (79.9%) and the most hazardous procedure, were injections (47.6%). Sixty percent of the subjects suggested not putting latex gloves on during medical procedures and 7.9% of the staff have not been recapped the disposable needles.
