From the results of statistical tests known that there is a significant relationship between unsafe action and work accidents (p=0.013), and there is a significant relationship between unsafe conditions and work accidents (p=0.003). DISCUSSION: There is a relation between unsafe action and work accidents, and unsafe conditions with work accidents (p<0.05). It is suggested that the owners to supervise the equipment and oversee the work process. Workers should also be careful whenworking.
