Objective: This descriptive and correlational research was performed with the aim of investigating the occupational safety of the nurses in terms of certain variables. Material-Method: The sample of the research comprised a total of 1072 nurses who work at two different hospitals of a university and willing volunteered to participate in the research. Data of the study was collected by using “Nurse Information Form and Occupational Safety Scale”. Results: The mean age of the nurses was 35.43±8.85 year and the majority of them were female (94.6%). It was identified that 61.8% of the nurses were married and 65.1% of them had bachelor’s degree. It was detected that the nurses’ total mean score for “Occupational diseases and complaints” dimension was 1.65±0.65; total mean score for “Medical screening and recording systems” dimension was 2.43±1.08; total mean score for “Accidents and intoxications” dimension was 2.53±1.18; total mean score for “Administrative support and approach” dimension was 1.95±0.88; total mean score for “Material, tools and equipment control” dimension was 2.63±1.22; total mean score for “Protective measures and rules” dimension was 3.09±1.34; total mean score for “Physical environment compatibility” dimension was 2.34±1.26 and total mean score of Occupational Safety Scale was 2.23±0.72 (Min.=1-Max.=5). It was also detected that there were statistically significant differences between having a work accident and total mean scores for occupational safety and all of its dimensions (p<0.05). Conclusions: It was deduced from the research that occupational safety of nurses was not adequate; patient and employee health committes and occupational safety units at the hospitals have important responsibility on this matter.
