Subject and methods: 100 participants were subjected to a questionnaire that included demographic data, awareness of occupational hazards and safety measures practiced by the study participants. Assessment tools were conducted through calculation of the three rates (accident incidence rate, accident frequency rate and accident severity rate), in addition to, calculation of frequency of each question, scoring degree and grading from weak, moderate to excellent. Results: Out of the 100 participants, 85% were males and 15% were females; 87% of participants were excellent in applying the term preventive practices and the rest of participants were moderate but the difference between the two groups was statistically insignificant (P= 0.103) and nearly equal to each other.
