The sample size was 113 nurses taken by simple random sampling. The data analysis used was Chi-square with α = 0,05 (5%). The results showed that the majority of nurses were aged 30-50 years old (80,5%), D3 education level (85,8%), and tenure of 10-20 years (47,8%). Variables related to work accidents on nurses were K3RS information (p-value = 0.008), and K3RS supervision (p-value = 0.028), while knowledge (p-value = 0.170), attitude (p-value = 1,000), and actions (p-value = 0.075) were not related to work accidents.
