Abstract

Background: OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENTS are one of the major health hazards in industries and associated with high mortality, morbidity, spiritual damage and economic losses in the world.Objective: To determine the INCIDENCE of OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENTS in 9 IRANian gas refineries between March 2007 and February 2011.Methods: Data on all OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENTS occurred between March 2007 and February 2011, as well as other possible associated variables including time of accident, whether the accident was due to a personal or systemic fault, type of accident and its outcomes, age and gender of the victim, the injured parts of the body, job experience, and type of employment, were extracted from HSE reports and notes of health care services. Based on these data, we calculated the INCIDENCE rate of ACCIDENTS and assessed the associated factors.Results: During the 5 studied years, 1129 ACCIDENTS have been recorded. The INCIDENCE of fatal ACCIDENTS was 1.64 per 100 000 and of nonfatal ACCIDENTS was 1857 per 100 000 workers per year. 99.4% of injured workers were male. The mean±SD age of injured people was 29.6±7.3 years. Almost 70% of injured workers aged under 30 years. The mean±SD job experience was 5.3±5.3 years. ACCIDENTS occurred more commonly around 10:00. More than 60% of ACCIDENTS happened between 8:00 and 15:00. July had the highest INCIDENCE rate. The most common type of accident was being struck by an object (48%). More than 94% of ACCIDENTS are caused by personal rather than systemic faults. Hands and wrists were the most common injured parts and involved in more than one-third of ACCIDENTS. 70% of injured workers needed medical treatment and returned to work after primary treatment.Conclusion: The pattern of OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENTS in IRANian gas refineries is similar to other previous reports in many ways. The INCIDENCE did not change significantly over the study period. Establishment of an online network for precise registration, notification and meticulous data collection seems necessary.
