workers. This study was aimed to determine unsafe behaviors rate and offer some control measures. Methods and
Materials: In this descriptive-analytical study, safety sampling technique, interview and document review methods were
adopted. In a pilot study, the number of observations and samples were determined 3145 and 185, respectively. Finally,
in order to analyze the data, Chi-squared test and regression were used. Findings: The results showed that 25.08% of the
workers behaviors were unsafe. It was found that there is a significant correlation between unsafe actions and education
level (P>0.05) while the correlation between unsafe action and age, work experience, married status, job and time of
observations was not significant (P<0.05). Furthermore, the highest unsafe actions were observed in testing man and
workers above 51 years old and above 21 years of work experience. Application/ Improvements: Although the rate of
unsafe behaviors in study group was relatively low compared with unsafe acts, the improper use of personal protection
equipment was the most dominant problem. In order to reduce these behaviors, training programs, daily surveillance and
safety culture improvement among workers and authorities are strongly suggested.

Background: In order to control occupational accidents, it is essential to find out unsafe behaviors and their rate amongworkers. This study was aimed to determine unsafe behaviors rate and offer some control measures. Methods and
Materials: In this descriptive-analytical study, safety sampling technique, interview and document review methods were
adopted. In a pilot study, the number of observations and samples were determined 3145 and 185, respectively. Finally,
in order to analyze the data, Chi-squared test and regression were used. Findings: The results showed that 25.08% of the
workers behaviors were unsafe. It was found that there is a significant correlation between unsafe actions and education
level (P>0.05) while the correlation between unsafe action and age, work experience, married status, job and time of
observations was not significant (P<0.05). Furthermore, the highest unsafe actions were observed in testing man and
workers above 51 years old and above 21 years of work experience. Application/ Improvements: Although the rate of
unsafe behaviors in study group was relatively low compared with unsafe acts, the improper use of personal protection
equipment was the most dominant problem. In order to reduce these behaviors, training programs, daily surveillance and
safety culture improvement among workers and authorities are strongly suggested.
