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