Abstract
Background: To get an initial knowledge about the morbidity by workplace accidents in health related personal (hospital and primary attention) in Leon province.
Methods: Retrospective study relative to workplace accidents with time off work result, in health related personal, in Leon province, for 1990.
Results: We have observed a rate of workplace accidents in health related personal (31, 4/1000) smaller than general workers in Leon province (63, 3/1000), Castilla y Leon community (44, 7/1000) and Spain (59, 8/1000). The rate in female population (37, 4/1000) was higher than the rate in men (21,7/1000). By jobs, the attendant an maintenance personal, had more accidents (rate of 118/1000). The most frequent mechanism was "fall" (38.2%). The most frequent lesion was "swerve" (38.2%). About the part of the body, the most injured were superior members (30.9%) and inferior members (30%), 93.7% of workplace accidents were qualified as slight accidents.
Conclusions: The health related personal have a lower rate of accidents than general workers. The risk of workplace accident is directly related with job and place of work. The slight pathological result is most frequent.
