SP - 622 EP - 624 VL - 29 IS - 3 N2 - The evolution of the disease accident has been analysed in a University Hospital in Sicily (approx. 2500 employees/year) for the time period between 2002 and 2006. The industrial injuries index has shown a swing in course (from a value of 3.80% in 2002 to 5.17% in 2003 to 4.49% in 2004), affecting the categories of nurses and health social workers most. The phenomenon shows a constant course within the same period for medical staff, technical assistants and administrative staff. Biological risk industrial injuries have the highest frequency compared to all others (62.5% in 2002 down to 42.3% in 2006). The most interesting datum is the relative scarce entity of the phenomenon when compared to other similar hospital situations and the progressive reduction of biological risk incidents.
