Objective: This study aimed to compare traumatic occupational injury burden by departments in an industrial establishment in the South-South geo-political zone of Nigeria.

Materials and methods: This was a 12-month descriptive longitudinal study of traumatic occupational injuries among workers in all the Departments of a paper-producing company in Nigeria. All workers traumatically injured at work were coded and enlisted into the study with their workers’ identification numbers. Data obtained were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences for windows version 16.0. Regressional statistics was used to compare categorical variables while descriptive statistics were used to summarize other variables.

Results: The results show that the specific incidence rates for the two departments that were most injury-prone: Mechanical Engineering and Logging Departments were 77.4 traumatic injuries/1000 workers and 214.3 traumatic injuries/1,000 workers, with proportions of 3.8% and 5.7% involvement of the workers in the affected departments respectively, for severe injuries. The burden of injury in Logging department was statistically significant over that in Mechanical Engineering Department for all the traumatically injured (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Regular training of workers on the job regarding safety measures in general is recommended along with the use of ergonomic-oriented enhancements nationally, to forestall the occurrence of avoidable accidents. The opening of a National Occupational Injury Register in Nigeria is also recommended to keep track and stem the occurrences of injuries in workplaces. Currently, the services of Family Physicians in the face of critically few Occupational Health Physicians remain invaluable in industrial settings in the country.
