“…Among the five workers who were making social security contributions but who were unregistered or self-employed, none of them made a notification of the accident.Underreporting compromises public policies for promoting workers' health. Among the main reasons for underreporting are an understanding that the event was not of sufficient severity,15 a duration of sick leave of less than sixteen consecutive days, for which there is no concession of benefits,16 occurrence of accidents…”

Occupational accidents are a complex phenomenon and a major public health problem that requires attention from all sectors, including healthcare, industry or services, because these accidents generate high socioeconomic costs. 1 Work that is carried out under unsuitable conditions can cause various adverse consequences for humans, both physically and psychologically. These consequences may give rise to impairments that lead to absenteeism, premature retirement, reduced income, job disruption for the family, temporary incapacitation, physical or psychological pain, mutilation and even death. Faced with this reality, it is essential that this topic is discussed in order to conduct studies that show the unfavorable impacts of work on workers' health. 2,3 One of the main causes of health problems among workers is the fragility of the health and safety structure, along with inadequate risk management. 4 In order to implement care, surveillance, preventive actions and health promotion actions, the National Network for Integral Attention to Worker's Health (RENAST) 5 was created in Brazil in 2002. This is a complex network that includes production and management of knowledge and actions to be developed for workers' health. The network is composed of state and regional reference centers for occupational health (CERESTs) that have the objective of acting towards health promotion, preventive actions, surveillance, assistance and rehabilitation relating to workers' health in both urban and rural settings, irrespective of employment relationships and the type of status in the labor market. 6 All work accidents must be reported in the notifiable hazards information system (Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação, SINAN). This system has been implemented gradually since 1993 and is mainly fed by notifications and investigations of cases of diseases and injuries that are listed as matters for compulsory notification. When used effectively, this system makes it possible to identify the epidemiological reality of a given geographical area. 7 In the case of accidents among workers who are insured through social security, it is necessary to open a work accident notice (Comunicação de Acidente de Trabalho, CAT

The present study aimed to verify the health and work conditions of seven elderly workers carrying out informal labor activities in a municipal market and to describe the accidents they suffered at work. A qualitative case study was carried out with seven elderly butcher workers from a municipal market in Bahia, Brazil. The participants were men and women with limited schooling (up to high school level in one case), who lived with others at home and had worked for an average of 31 years in the butcher business. Despite the stress involved, such as uncomfortable physical positioning and few days off, all the participants said they were satisfied with their jobs. They were affected by chronic diseases, especially arterial hypertension, and said they were aware of the risks involved in their work. They had suffered accidents at work from finger cuts to amputation. Such workers require activities that promote health and protection from work-related accidents and injuries to avoid the problems that transform the process of senescence into senility.

Background Since 2004, Brazil has had a national policy for occupational health and safety. This policy means companies’ tax burden is altered according to the numbers of work-related accidents and ill-health amongst their workers. In 2010, a multiplication factor was introduced to this policy, called the Accident Prevention Factor. The idea of this new multiplication factor is to encourage individual employers to take initiatives to prevent accidents and ill health in the workplace. This study was designed to investigate the incidence of work-related accidents and ill-health in Brazil according to their causes, their severity, and the economic activity in which they occur, and to compare the data before and after the introduction of the Accident Prevention Factor. Methods An ecological study was conducted by analyzing the time series of work-related accidents/ill-health between 2008 and 2014 from the Brazilian social security system (Previdência Social) statistical yearbooks. Incidences were calculated per cause, economic activity, and severity of the accident/ill-health. Data from before and after the introduction of the Accident Prevention Factor were compared using the Mann-Whitney test per cause and per economic activity. Statistical analyses were made using the SPSS software, with significance set at 5%. Results A reduction in the incidence of work-related accidents/ill-health was found across all the groups of causes analyzed, except for the groups “external causes of morbidity and mortality” and “factors influencing health status and contact with health services.” Greater reductions were found for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue and diseases of the nervous system. Reductions in work-related accidents/ill-health were found in the different economic activities and in the different severity groups. The highest reduction after the introduction of the Accident Prevention Factor was in manufacturing and production (p < 0.05). Conclusions Overall, the incidence of accidents/ill-health was found to be on decline, except those with external causes of morbidity and mortality and those involving factors influencing health status and contact with health services. The biggest reduction was found in manufacturing and production. However, generally speaking progress still needs to be made in accident prevention and occupational health across a whole range of work environments.
