Abstract

Work-related accidents are considered as a major health problem worldwide. The aim of present study was to determine the epidemiological pattern of occupational accidents among workers insured by the Iranian Social Security Organization (ISSO) between 2001 and 2005. Subjects consisted of all workers and drivers who had a work-related accident during 2001-2005 and were registered in the Iranian Social Security Organization (ISSO) database according to the inspection reports. An ordinal logistic regression model (proportional odds regression model) was used to assess the concurrent effects of independent variables on accident outcomes. Overall, 86,437 work-related accidents were investigated. The accidents were more frequent in metal workplaces and electrical industries, respectively. More than half of the accidents were due to incautious activities. Workers' age (age at the time of accident) (OR = 0.99, CI: 0.989-0.994), gender (OR = 1.3, CI: 1.191-1.683), marital status (OR = 1.25, CI: 1.143-1.675) as well as accident setting (OR = 1.88, CI: 1.728-1.975) had significant effect on accident outcomes. Pattern of occupational injuries in Iran was consistent with the global pattern for accident outcomes. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
