兒童及青少年所發生的意外事故傷害中，有10﹪至25﹪是與學校意外事故有關。歐美國家相關研究結果顯示：學生意外事故之發生率約為每100學生年有1.1件至5.4件；而在我國於1998年針對台灣地區高雄市國中生所做的調查，其發生率則約為每100學生年中有27.3件。
為探討大專院校學生意外災害發生及安全衛生認知情形。利用結構式問卷由學生們自行填答其於民國88年9月至民國89年6月間在上、放學途中及在校期間所發生意外事故傷害(包含虛驚事故)之情形。樣本之選取為將大專院校依學校層級和科系類別進行分層隨機抽樣，以所抽出科系其大四和研二各一班的學生為調查對象，共調查2682位大四學生和1791位研二學生。
問卷加權回收率為54.52﹪。意外事故發生情形為包含虛驚事故之發生率為229.60 0/00；導致一天以上之失能傷害，發生率為12.080/00。其意外事故發生時段依序為道路途中（249.90 0/00）、休息時段（41.43 0/00）、活動時段（33.76 0/00）、教學時段（17.37 0/00）。主要五個意外事故種類之發生率依序分別為交通意外（249.83 0/00）、運動傷害（38.54 0/00）、滑倒/跌倒（25.70 0/00）、衝撞/被撞（18.71 0/00）及暴露於有害物質（3.99 0/00）。而造成發生意外事故傷害的原因，依序為自己或他人不小心（68.1﹪）、不安全環境（15.7﹪）、教育訓練不足（12.0﹪）和他人有意或侵略性行為（3.4﹪）。
雖由意外事故發生率之結果，可發現大專院校內其意外事故雖是以包含虛驚事故或造成輕傷害為主要，然在導致一天以上之失能傷害的發生率部分，與我國工職業災害資料相較高出許多，可見有關學生意外事故之發生情形是不容忽視的。

For accidents in children and adolescents , about 10﹪to 25﹪are related to school accidents. In European and American, the incidence rate is 1.1/100 student-year to 5.4/100 student-year. The incidence rate for school-related injuries for junior school students in Kaohsiung, Taiwan is 27.3/100 student-year.
In order to describe the whole scenario of safety and health related accidents and recognition of students at colleges and universities, Self-administered questionnaires were delivered to samples to collect the whole scenario of their safety and health related accidents (including near accidents ) happened at schools or on the way to or from schools between September in 1999 and June in 2000. The study populations were the students of colleges and universities in Taiwan area, and samples were selected by stratified random sampling by school and department categories.
The weighted retrieve rate was 54.52%. The incidence rate of accident was 229.600/00 while near accidents were included. And under the situation that accidents resulted in at least one day temporary disability ,the rate was 12.080/00. The incidence rate of period of accidents were 249.90 0/00 at the period of being on the way to or from schools, 41.43 0/00 at the period of class change, 33.76 0/00 at the period of competition, and 17.37 0/00at the period of class. The five major event of accidents were motor vehicle crash (249.83 0/00), sports-related injury (38.54 0/0), tripped/slipped (25.70 0/00), collision (18.71 0/00), and exposure to dangerous subjects (3.99 0/00). .And the major causal factor of accidents was artificial carelessness (including self and others) , the proportion was 68.1%.
The injuries resulted from accidents occurred on the campus were minor injuries. However, the incidence rate of accident that resulted in at least one day temporary disability was much higher than that of occupational injuries of laborers in Taiwn. Thus, the school-related accident could not be ignored.
