Abstract :
The health and therapeutic employees are facing with some particular hazards. The existing
insurance system has a lot of different shortcomings. Determination of the frequency and type of
accidents in a hospital was the main objective. All accidents were recorded and the study period was
divided in to 3 periods. The victims who reported their accident were classified from personality point
of view and the accidents of highly reliable employees were analyzed. Although number of needle-stick
was relatively high (4.5%), cuts (45.4%) were on top. Youngsters had the highest injury rate. Creation
of a unique record keeping system for the country or even for the world was the final conclusion.
