Abstract:

Through the years employees have been injured or killed due to man-made or natural accidents, or even their health have been compromised by exposure to all kinds of agents. The magnitude and frequency of such unfortunate accidents were in part due to management negligence which has been driven by financial and economical pressures to cut costs. This trend has continued until governments (in industrialized countries) stepped in to regulate safety conditions across all industries.
In the past 20 years, corporate and industries have changed policies and become proactive in safety to survive and even lead in the highly competitive global market, where safety is more than just saving lives and money. It is global reputation, marketing tool, public demand and social values, and more.
Iran is no exceptions in occupational safety and health field. A very condense review of workplace accidents in Iran will be presented and areas for research and development will be introduced. And also requirement for a world class and successful educational program will be discussed.
