Occupational safety risks varied by sector. Agricultural workers were primarily exposed to heat stress, heavy physical workloads, and chronic diseases. Factory workers commonly faced metabolic disorders, falls, and physically demanding tasks, while office workers were mainly affected by psychosocial stress, ergonomic strain, and high workload demands.

Previous studies have focused on quantitative outcomes or on healthcare professionals in general, leaving a gap in understanding the subjective experiences and perspectives of nursing staff.

Although it does not present findings different from previous research regarding the occurrence of such injuries, its importance may lie precisely in highlighting results that remain unchanged. The study also shows that nurses often internalize blame for occupational injuries, viewing them as personal failures rather than system issues. It highlights the need for rigorous monitoring, ongoing training, consistent safety materials, and encouragement of incident reporting to strengthen collective safety and promote a positive safety culture.</p>","PeriodicalId":48968,"journal":{"name":"Workplace Health & Safety","volume":" ","pages":"468-479"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147575893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
