Objective Learned non-fatal occupational injury characteristics in iron and steel enterprises in Guangxi and studied the non-fatal occupational injury mechanism, found the effects of non-fatal occupational injury in the steel & iron industry provided scientific basis and comprehensive intervene measurements for prevention and control of the incidence of occupational injuries.Methods Used case-control study, collected injury and death registration data of workers in between 1 January, 1998 to August 31, 2008 in the steel & iron industry in Guangxi. Unified survey the works that are Non-fatal injuries 112 and no injuries 144 in the factory workers. Investigation includes population characteristics, occupational factors, safety consciousness, attitude and behavior, occupational injury characteristics. Mean, constituent ratio, frequency distributions were used to analyze epidemical characteristic. The risk factors of non-fatal occupational injury are analyzed by Single factor and Multi-factor non-conditional Logistic regression model. Results 112 non-fatal occupational injured workers that minor injurer is 94(83.9%) and serious injurer is 18(16.1%), Men(91.1%) are more than women(8.9%), the mean age is 34.7, the largest ages is 20-39 (81.5%), Front-line workers accounted for 67.9%, ironworkers accounted for 21.4%, 6 month(13.4%) is the highest one, wrist(21.0%) is the most majority of injuries, against objects (28.6%) as the main type of injury. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed thinking their works is safe (OR=8.235, 95%Cl:3.234~20.913), In the use of personal protective equipment must be operating appliances or occasions, neglect used them (OR= 2.713, 95%Cl:1.297~5.618), did an error, ignored the safety and warning in work(OR=2.682, 95%Cl:1.281~5.618), the replacement of types of work (OR=2.575, 95%Cl:1.105~5.998), contact with the machine time in daily (OR= 1.350, 95%Cl:1.158~1.574), report the risk things to the leader (OR= 0.184, 95%Cl:0.071~0.481) , the accident happened is avoided (OR=0.131, 95%Cl:0.026~0.652), the production process, to participate actively and strictly in accordance with the rules to do(OR=0.115, 95%Cl:0.016~0.652) organization and coordination (OR1= 0.106, 95%Cl1:0.015~0.750; OR2=0.071, 95%Cl2:0.010~0.526), thinking of production safety education is necessary (OR=0.045, 95%Cl:0.007~0.288), thinking of special inspections in the security situation in the production is necessary (OR=0.034, 95%Cl:0.002~0.724).Conclusion Iron and steel enterprises occupational injuries must have the characteristics that are its specific time, type, nature and site distributions. the risk factors of occupational injuries are diversity in iron and steel enterprises. Take intervention measures against occupational injuries, strengthen support for poverty-stricken workers, reduce to replace the types of workers, shorten the time to contact with the machine every day, carry out technical training to workers, check up protective equipment in workplace and complete to failure things timely, enhance safety education, effectively improve the level of awareness of occupational safety, correct the attitude of the occupational safety, avoid unsafe acts, establish a scientific and unified reporting system, effective to reduce the incidence of occupational injuries.
