Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the observance of safety measures by workers responsible for collecting hospital wastes in the public hospitals affiliated to Tehran University of medical sciences.
Methods and Materials: This cross-sectional and descriptive-analytic study was conducted in 1391. Data were collected through using a questionnaire. According to the frequency distribution, total score for participants was divided into three weak (<26), average (26-30), and high (>30) categories. Data were analyzed by the SPSS 18 software using T-Test, one-way ANOVA and regression analysis.
Findings: Based on the results, 33.3% of hospitals received suitable, 55.5% received average and the remaining (11.2%) received a weak score regarding safety measures. Moreover, there was a statistically significant correlation between cleaning staff’s characteristics (education, age, work experiences and their training) with their safety status score.

At the first step, causes of delay in handling of administrative violations were extracted along with the proposed solutions using interviews. In second step, Delphi method was applied in order to find out the agreement of experts on the suggested solutions. In third step, practical solutions were prioritized using the analytic hierarchy process.
Results: Overall, 23 out of 39 solutions were certified after consultation with experts running the first round of Delphi using the interview. These solutions were presented to 15 experts using a self-constructed questionnaire and 18 solutions were approved by the experts finally.Solutions were divided into six groups of motivational, organizational, administrative, process, and research group solutions.
Conclusion: Training as the main key to prevent the delay can work effectively at all levels and processes of service delivery. Hiring well-informed and conscious managers at various organizational levels as well as having experienced and mindful research group on administrative violations can speed up the process of handling these violations.
