Sažetak

Health care and social work, in Croatia and Europe, and especially in the United States, occupies a high place according to the areas of activity in which the largest number of injuries at work occurs, with a tendency to further growth. Add to this the fact that this activity generates an extremely large number of lost working days and financial losses for both the employer and the state, and over the last decade, a number of experts have paid special attention to this activity. To the extent that new technologies in health care have brought a number of advantages without which today's medicine in this form would not exist, on the other hand, in certain segments, a number of potential dangers have opened up for workers themselves. The aim of this paper, as the first of its kind in this form, was to present the safety indicators of employees of the Children's Hospital Zagreb, a central and unique institution for health care of children and adolescents in Croatia, and compare them with available indicators at the state, European Union and of the United States. In the twelve-year period, 113 injuries at work were recorded, of which 56.64% occurred at the place of work. Most of them were minor injuries (59.29%), and the largest share was related to sprains, strains, and sprains. The largest share of lost working time also related to injuries that occurred at the place of work. The clinic recorded 105 exposure incidents over a nine-year period. Needle-stick injuries generated the largest share (80.95%), and as a branch, nursing was the most affected (69.52%). The occupational disease was diagnosed in 16 people, almost all of whom were caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
