Abstract
Introduction: More than 85% of accidents are due to unsafety working and causes of 85 to 98% of occupational accidents are perspectives, behavior and culture. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to survey of safety culture and its relation with work-related accidents in an urban train project.
Methods: This study was conducted on 180 workers. To collect data, were used a standard safety culture questionnaire that contains 62 questions related to 5 areas of education, work environment, priority to safety, information exchange and commitment management. Data were analyzed by SPSS-20 software.
Results: The overall average of safety culture score in the urban train was 2,420, which is a positive project culture. Among the different dimensions of the safety culture, the lowest mean safety culture score was related to the work environment dimension (58.5%) and the highest average was priority to safety (84%). The most common cause of accidents was surface damage (66.6%). There was a significant relationship between safety culture with age groups and job satisfaction (P <0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results, prioritizing safety at work and education has been one of the most important factors in achieving a high score on the safety culture of the project. On the other hand, due to the type of work activity, the work environment has been considered as the main factor in reducing the safety culture score. The most important thing in preventing minor accidents has arisen and promotion of safety culture, observing 5s in the workplace.

Abstract
Introduction: Job burnout, in addition to the adverse effects of physical and psychological health and the various dimensions of the quality of personal and professional life of nurses, has a lot of costs for the organization. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between job burnout and quality of life of nurses.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 175 nurses working in Khatam-ol-Anbia Gonbad-e-Kavous Hospital were included in the study by the available method. The data gathering tool was a three-part questionnaire including demographic information, 26-item quality of life (WHOQOL), and Maslach burnout. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS22 and t test, Chi-Square and analysis of variance tests.
Results: The mean age and work experience were 38.34 and 13.81, respectively. In this study, 92.54% of the participants had bachelor degree, 88.81% were married, 62.69% were women, 88.06% were in shift working and 26.12% were in the emergency department. The highest and lowest mean scores of quality of life dimensions were related to physical and environmental health (66.78 and 63.26, respectively). There was a negative correlation between environmental health and overall quality of life with overtime hours (r= -0.193, r= -0.169). The highest and lowest mean scores of occupational burnout dimensions were related to emotional exhaustion and involvement (frequency: 68.7 and 16.4, severity: 75.4 and 19.4). All dimensions of life quality were not correlated with personality frequency and severity of emotional exhaustion.
Conclusion: Regarding the inverse relationship between job burnout and quality of life, by presenting and implementing various management solutions and identifying effective factors in improving the quality of life of nurses, job burnout can be reduced which will lead to increase productivity.

Abstract
Introduction: The operation room is one of the most complex working environments in the health care system and the chance of accidents happening there is high. Studies show more than 50 identified dangers in the surgery room, which can potentially hurt the workers and patients there while many of these errors can be prevented. The aim of the current study is to identify and evaluate operating room dangers using the JSA technique and its correlation with prioritized engineering and managerial controls to prevent errors and decrease its consequences.
Methods: The current applied study has a descriptive-analytical design and was implemented with a cross-sectional design in the operating rooms of Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Kashan in 2017. The population of the study was the university faculty members, HSE experts, managers, surgeons and anesthesiologists, seasoned nurses, and the supervisors at Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Kashan and sampling was conducted via a census. The identification and evaluation of dangers was conducted using the JSA method and managerial and engineering approaches were determined using panel discussions.
Results: In the initial identification and evaluation of hazards in the operating room, 25 hazards were identified and evaluated using the JSA technique and after implementing the prioritized engineering and managerial controls, five of the identified hazards were controlled. Lifting heavy objects and unsuitable postures had the highest risk decrease (decreasing to 10 from 15), which was followed by facing chemical disinfectants and detergents (decreasing to 12 from 16), and touching sharp objects and catching infectious illnesses (decreasing to 12 from 15).
Conclusion: The results of the current study showed that the JSA technique can be effective in identifying and presenting control approaches. Furthermore, with greater focus on risk management on behalf of hospital boards to develop health quality and create a safe environment for the workers and patients is necessary. Adopting policies and programs for the monitoring of risk management in hospitals must be seriously consistent

Abstract
Introduction: Creation of anthropometric database in any age group is one of the most important issues in designing and manufacturing of used equipment. The aim of this study was to determine the anthropometric characteristics of nurses of kindergartens and preschools in Isfahan in the age range of 2 to 6 years and to create an information reference.
Materials and Methods: In this applied study, 700 healthy male and female boys were selected randomly from cluster sampling from nursery schoolchildren and preschools in Isfahan city. 36 anthropometric measurements of them were cross-sectional in the academic year 1396 to 1397. And indicators and statistical percentiles (5.50 and 95) were extracted.
Results: Statistical indexes and percentiles were presented as an anthropometric database in 5 age groups and in two sex groups. Age and sex were influenced by most anthropometric variables and significant difference (P <0.05). .
Conclusion: The age and sex are two factors affecting anthropometric variables. Therefore, it is necessary to use the anterpometric database of the same age group and gender in the design of the equipment.
