  "abstract": "<p>Background: The burden of occupational injury in most developing countries including<br>\nEthiopia is becoming a public health problem. Therefore, information that shows the magnitude<br>\nand predictors of occupational injury in most risky work places in Ethiopia such as metal<br>\nprocessing and working industries is indispensable to inform proper intervention programs to<br>\nhave healthy workforce and sound economic development.<br>\nObjective: This study is intended to assess the magnitude and factors affecting occupational<br>\ninjuries among workers engaged in large scale metal manufacturing industries in Addis Ababa.<br>\nMethod: Institutional cross sectional study was conducted in Addis Ababa from February to<br>\nMarch 2010. 50% of large scale metal manufacturing industries were selected by simple random<br>\nsampling after stratification. Then, calculated sample size was allocated for each industry by<br>\nPPS. And then, Study subjects were stratified by working sections and those who were directly<br>\nengaged in the work were selected from each stratum by simple random sampling after preparing<br>\na frame from payroll of those industries. Structured questionnaire was designed to collect<br>\ninformation on outcome variables and factors. Observational checklist and in-depth interview<br>\nwith key informants was held to triangulate the information with quantitative findings</p>",
