Background: Burden of occupational accident and injury is the impact of a health problem in an area measured by premature mortality and morbidity. Poor OHS practice is one of huge public health, economic and social problems. There is a dearth of studies describing the burden of OAI. However, this study has determined the burden of occupational accident and injures in Southern Ethiopia in January 2011 - December 2015.
Method: Retrospective descriptive study design was used to analysis administrative data. All data were available in the database. A total of 215 OAI reports was identified from recorded data base. Reports have been collected from SMSM. All accidents and injure report format were observed. Data entered and cleaned using EPI Info version7 statistical software and were analyzed with SPSS version 20.
Result: In this study revealed an increasing magnitude of OAI over three years of 65% were found. But, next two years data were declining. More OAI occurred in male (83.3 %), probation period (48.8%) and daily laborers (67.4%) and 57.7% during morning and 35.8% evening time. The seven hundred twenty one leave days and Eighteen thousand six hundred ninety nine Ethiopian Birr paid 62 permanents employments. Causes of OAIs 20.9% hand tools, 17.2%, falling & slippers, 11.2% collision, 10.2% miss handling, 6.5% relate to transport, 1.4% fire and explosive, 3.3% splinters, only 0.9% work related mistakes. A location of accident and injuries on 6% eye, 33% upper back, 43% lower back of body. A type of OAI 51.6% abrasion, 3.3% ear injury, 0.5% death, 15.3% cuts, 9.8% piercing, 1.4% punctured, 7% fractured and 7.4% dislocation.
Conclusion: The findings of this study revealed an increasing magnitude of OAI were found. Basic educational level, probation period, daily laborers, working during the morning and evening time more injure and accidents. Upper and lower back were highly affected body part. Abrasion, cuts, piercing, fracture and dislocation were observed as a common type of OAIs. Therefore, interventions should be on a basic educational level, probation period, and daily laborers, working morning and evening time.
