prevalent in the school hostels of the University of Benin. It brings to
ones notice, the various risk factors of accidents and disease based on
University of Benin student’s response. This report will not

from the students of only the University of Benin, residing in the
school provided hostels, hence, the only way findings of this report can
be generalized would be if the observed state of other school hostels
are the same, in comparison with the recordings of this report. 2.

design), it will not show how directly, specific personal habits,
behaviours, and lifestyles, and environmental factors in the hostels
influences the health and safety of students residing in them.
