There are many health reports that healthcare workers have many occupational hazardous exposures not only from sharp injuries at work but also have other occupational safety problems too.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted during 2013 among the healthcare workers.

The comparison between the clinic and non-clinic healthcare workers was done. There were 44.8% in non-clinical group and 73.6% in clinical group. There were 47.9% of healthcare workers (44.8% in non-clinical group and 54.7% in clinical group) had sick leave from occupational injuries or work-related illness but none of them had accident resulting in a fatality, disability or at least 30 days sick leave. There were 57.7% in non-clinical group and 80.4% in clinical group had complained of their colleague’s occupational injuries or work-related illness while self-reported was lower.
