Job stress is one of the most important phenomena in social life and is a serious threat to the workforce health throughout the world. Job stress can cause occupational accidents and incidents, results in injuries to people, and damages the workplace equipment. Firefighting is also one of the most stressful and specific occupations and firefighters should be physically and mentally fit to perform their missions and tasks safely. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between occupational stress and work accidents among the staff of fire department and safety services of Yazd City, Iran. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on nine individuals selected from the whole statistical population using the available sampling method. The validity coefficient of job stress questionnaire was 0.78 and the validity of both questionnaires was confirmed in other studies. Statistical methods used in this study included descriptive and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis), which were performed by SPSS 12. Results: The results showed that occupational stress was higher than usual among the participants and a significant relationship was observed between occupational stress and variables such as physical status of workplace, work injury, time pressure at work, workplace problems, and decision making at work. A severe correlation was found between these factors, except for moderate to severe accidents. Furthermore, we found that stress played an important role in predicting the rate of accidents. Conclusion: According to the findings, employees exposed to stress were weaker and suffered from low spirits and stress. They were indifferent to tasks, had decreased energy, decreasedg efficiency, problems in decision making, disrupting organizational communication, decreased job values, and reduced organizational productivity. Therefore, assessing job stress among firefighters is of great importance.
