Job burnoutcan lead to loss of quality and efficiency of the individual, reduce physical and mental health, and may cause to increase of unsafe acts.The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of unsafe acts with job burnout among workers of Kashan smelting industries.Materials and Methods: This cross‑sectional study was conducted on 112 workers of metal melting industries. The unsafe acts of them weremonitored through observation and using the Tarrant’s checklist. The examination of burnout was carried out using the Maslach questionnaire.The demographic data were also collected by a researcher‑made questionnaire.

The most frequent unsafe act wasthe fail to using personal protective equipment (38.1%), and the least frequent was inadvertency (0.07%). There was a significant relationshipbetween smoking, work units, safety education, and working hours with unsafe acts (P < 0.05). There was no significant relationship betweenthe dimensions of occupational burnout with unsafe acts.
