Abstract
A survey of the student accident report forms was conducted in Hawaii public schools. Review of the data gathered during one school year revealed that the intermediate grade level had the highest number of school accidents with males, in a 2.1:1 ratio, more involved in accidents than females. Although no deaths occurred, there were a significant number of school accidents and school days lost to warrant the need for safety education. The accident report forms were reviewed and data summarized by the school nurses working within the schools. Because the information provided in the accident report forms was so varied, it was not possible to make a recommendation as to any specific restriction of activities. However, the survey revealed a need to strengthen the criteria for reporting accidents.
