Accidents at work as a result of deplorable conditions of safety and health at work in particular, the lack of wearing protective equipment are responsible for great suffering, significant losses for employees and their families, employers and social security funds. In addition to the knowledge of the factors explaining occupational risks and the requirements for wearing protective equipment, the world of work will enable the world of work to achieve decent work. The general objective is to improve the prevalence of injuries and their location among injured workers in the formal sector of Haut-Katanga in order to promote the health and well-being of the population of the Democratic Republic of Congo in general and that of Haut-Katanga in particular. Methods: This is a multicenter historical cohort study including all workers in the formal sector in the province of Haut-Katanga victims of accidents at work registered at the National Social Security Fund and in a mining company in the city of Lubumbashi in the province of Haut-Katanga. Results: During this first phase (2010 to 2017), 510 occupational accident files were recorded. The highest accident rate was recorded in 2012. Males account for 93.10%. The bride and groom were the most injured, accounting for nearly 91.72%. The seniority bracket ranging from 1 to 10 years was the most rugged bracket with 63.12%. The primary sector is the most rugged sector with 70.8% of which miners represent 51.5%. Workers with a primary education level are the most injured with 83%. The multivariate analysis shows that workers in the primary sector are the most injured as well as those with a seniority of less than 7 years. Subjects who had head injuries had a better cure rate. During the second phase, the study conducted in a mining company showed that out of a total of 338 workers, 14 cases of occupational accidents were recorded. 95.1% of the victims had a primary education. During this study, wounds account for a significant proportion (37.08%). Among the various injuries recorded (20.12%), those of the chest are the basis of deaths. Involvement of the limbs (lower left limb 22.09%, lower right limb 19.53%, right upper limb with 16.77%, left upper limb with 11.64%), head with 18.15% and trunk with 11.24%. As for the nature of the lesions, wounds account for a significant proportion (37.08%).

Abstract: (french)
Les accidents du travail suite aux conditions déplorables de sécurité et santé au travail en particulier, le manque de port des équipements de protection sont responsables de grande souffrance, des pertes importantes pour les employés et leurs familles, les employeurs et les caisses de sécurité sociale. En plus de la connaissance des facteurs explicatifs des risques professionnels et des exigences de port des équipements de protection permettra au monde du travail la concrétisation d’un travail décent. L’objectif général est de déterminer la prévalence des lésions et leurs sièges chez les accidentés du travail dans le secteur formel du Haut-Katanga afin de promouvoir la santé et le bien-être de la population de la République Démocratique du Congo en général et celle du Haut -Katanga en particulier. Méthodologie: Il s’agit d’une étude de cohorte historique multicentrique comprenant tous les travailleurs du secteur formel dans la province du Haut-Katanga victimes des accidents du travail enregistrés à la Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale et dans une entreprise minière de la ville de Lubumbashi dans la province du Haut-Katanga. Résultats: Au cours de cette première phase (2010 à 2017), 510 dossiers d’accidents du travail ont été enregistré. Le plus fort taux d’accidents a été enregistré en 2012. Le sexe masculin représente 93,10 %. Les mariés ont été les plus accidentés, soit près de 91,72%. La tranche d’ancienneté allant de 1 à 10 ans a été la tranche la plus accidentée avec 63,12%. Le secteur primaire est le secteur le plus accidenté avec 70,8% parmi lesquels les miniers représentent 51,5%. Les travailleurs ayant un niveau d’études primaires sont les plus accidentés avec 83%. L’analyse multivariée montre que les travailleurs du secteur primaire sont les plus accidentés de même que ceux ayant une ancienneté inférieure à 7 ans. Les sujets ayant eu des lésions au niveau de la tête avaient eu un meilleur taux de guérison. Au cours de la deuxième phase, l'étude menée dans une entreprise minière a montré que sur un total de 338 travailleurs, 14 cas d’accidents de travail ont été enregistrés. 95,1% des accidentés avaient un niveau d’études primaires. A cours de cette étude, les plaies représentent une proportion importante (37,08%). Parmi les traumatismes divers enregistrés (20,12%), ceux du thorax sont à la base des décès. Les atteintes des membres (membre inférieur gauche 22, 09%, membre inférieur droit 19,53%, membre supérieur droit avec 16,77%, le membre supérieur gauche avec 11,64%), la tête avec 18,15% et le tronc avec 11,24%. Quant à la nature des lésions, les plaies représentent une proportion importante (37,08%).
