**1. Introduction**

Health service is an important work area which can lead to important risks related to health and safety of employees [1]. Occupational risks of health professionals can alter according to the profession, the work itself and the unit of the hospital [2].

Work conditions of health professionals are quite challenging in some regions. The pre‐ cautions about the occupational safety are not sufficient in hospitals and health institu‐ tions. Professional development and education opportunities of health professionals are limited, and the professional organizations are also insufficient [3]. It has been reported that

increasing working hours per week results in an increase in the possibility of being injured. Professionals, who did not receive the occupational health and safety (OHS) training before, have more accidents [4]. Nonfatal accidents at work and occupational disease cases of health professionals take place at the top compared to other industries [5]. But in Turkey, the inclu‐ sion of hospitals in "Very Dangerous Jobs" class was approved barely in 2009 via "Hazard Classes List Notification Relating Work Health and Safety" [6, 7]. This list was formed accord‐ ing to NACE code.
