Background.
Microscale and small-scale industries have been widely expanded in low-income countries, including Ethiopia, as a job opportunity for young workers, which makes workers vulnerable to injury.
Woodworking is one of the high-risk jobs in this sector due to the use of hazardous tools and machineries.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of injury and associated contributing factors of this sector.
Methods.
A cross-sectional study design was conducted among 634 workers selected from 194 microscale and small-scale woodworking enterprises in Addis Ababa.
Data were collected using a structured interview questionnaire and observation checklist from February to March 2016.
Occupational injuries were documented according to the ILO operational definition.
Descriptive statistics and multivariable analyses were used to characterize the data and to identify the factors associated with injury at a p value <0.05, respectively.
Result.
A total of 625 (98.6%) workers were interviewed.
The prevalence of occupational injury was 92 (14.7%) in the past 12 months.
Workers with khat chewing behavior (AOR: 2.25, 95% CI (1.04, 4.85)), job dissatisfaction (AOR: 2.89, 95% CI (1.75, 4.76)), work-related stress (AOR: 4.79, 95% CI (1.69–13.58)), job categories (AOR: 3.52, 95% CI (1.08, 11.41)) and workplace characteristics such as unguarded machines (AOR: 3.32 (1.21, 9.11)), and inadequate work space (AOR: 3.85 (1.14, 13.04)) were significantly associated with occupational injury.
Conclusion.
The prevalence of nonfatal occupational injuries among workers in this study was substantially high.
Workers’ behavior, psychosocial issues, and work-related characteristics played a causal role in the occurrence of occupational injury.
Therefore, workers' safety protection and behavioral intervention should be initiated.
