Chi-square test was used for qualitative variables. For multivariate analysis, multiple linear regression analysis was carried out. Results: The coefficient of linear correlation between overall score of organizational structure with safety situation for Saab and Ghulebor stations were -0.348 and -0. 232 (P<0.05), respectively. At Saab station, the highest number of cases was related to safe behaviors with an average of 74.4 and the lowest was industrial health with an average of 45.8. At Ghulebor station, score of 65.6 was related to fire safety and first aid, industrial health had a score of 45.8. The highest linear correlation at Ghulebor and Saab station was between safety and health with recognition (-0.531) (-0.626). Conclusion: The results of the present study showed safety and health can be improved by modifying the organizational structure.
