摘要：Introduction: Workplace accidents represent a real public health problem, although they are usually under-reported. Methodology: We conducted a cross sectional survey aiming to contribute to the fight against occupational accidents in the province of Katanga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. COVID-19 in the university residences of Lubumbashi. The data was encoded in Excel and exported to SPSS version 23 (SPSS, Armonk, NY) for analysis purposes. Results: Our results revealed that most of the victims were of medical sex (94.9%) and those whose age is between 26 to 50 years old were the majority (52.3%) working in the mining sector (54%). Partial disability was the most encountered (degree between 10% and 25%) in 85.1% of cases. We observed that there is a statistically significant difference between repair costs and outcome (P = 0.000). Thus, death costs more than amputation, healing, and sequelae (P = 0.00). Conclusion: Accidents at work must be taken seriously and their notification obligatory. Safety and hygiene at work are major assets in reducing or even eradicating occupational risks.
