Because of occupational accidents, permanent disabilities and deaths occur and economic and workday losses emerge.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the factors responsible for occupational accidents occurred in Iran.
The current study analyzed 1464 occupational accidents recorded by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs' offices in Iran during 2008 - 2012. At first, general understanding of accidents was obtained using descriptive statistics. Afterwards, the chi-square test and Cramer's V statistic (Vc) were used to determine the association between factors influencing the type of injury as occupational accident outcomes.
There was no significant association between marital status and time of day with the type of injury. However, activity sector, cause of accident, victim's education, age of victim and victim's experience were significantly associated with the type of injury.
Successful accident prevention relies largely on knowledge about the causes of accidents. In any accident control activity, particularly in occupational accidents, correctly identifying high-risk groups and factors influencing accidents is the key to successful interventions. Results of this study can cause to increase accident awareness and enable workplace's management to select and prioritize problem areas and safety system weakness in workplaces.
职业事故会导致永久性残疾和死亡，并造成经济损失和工作日损失。
本研究旨在调查伊朗发生职业事故的相关因素。
本研究分析了伊朗劳动和社会事务部办公室在2008 - 2012年期间记录的1464起职业事故。首先，使用描述性统计方法对事故有了总体了解。之后，使用卡方检验和克莱默V统计量（Vc）来确定影响伤害类型（作为职业事故结果）的因素之间的关联。
婚姻状况和一天中的时间与伤害类型之间没有显著关联。然而，活动部门、事故原因、受害者教育程度、受害者年龄和受害者经验与伤害类型显著相关。
成功的事故预防很大程度上依赖于对事故原因的了解。在任何事故控制活动中，特别是在职业事故中，正确识别高危群体和影响事故的因素是成功干预的关键。本研究结果可提高事故意识，并使工作场所的管理层能够选择问题区域并确定其优先级，以及发现工作场所安全系统的弱点。
