OBJECTIVE Describe the main work risks for sugarcane cutters and their effects on workers’ health.METHODS Critical review of articles, with bibliographic research carried out in the PubMed, SciELO Medline, and Lilacs databases. The following keywords were used: sugarcane workers, sugarcane cutters, sugarcane harvesting, cortadores de cana-de-açú car , and colheita de cana -de-açúcar . The inclusion criteria were articles published between January 1997 and June 2017, which evaluated working conditions and health effects on sugarcane cutters. Those that did not deal with the work impact of cutting burned and unburnt sugarcane in the cutter’s health were excluded. The final group of manuscripts was selected by the lead author of this study and reviewed by a co-author. Disagreements were resolved by consensus using the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and, where necessary, the final decision was made by consulting a third co-author.RESULTS From the 89 articles found, 52 met the selection criteria and were evaluated. Studies have shown that cutters work under conditions of physical and mental overload, thermal overload, exposure to pollutants, and are subject to accidents. The main effects observed were respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, musculoskeletal, heat stress, dehydration, genotoxic, and those due to accidents.CONCLUSIONS Work on the manual cutting of sugarcane, especially of burned sugarcane, exposes workers to various risks, with different health impacts. Risk reduction for exposure to pollution and thermal and physical overload is required as a measure to preserve the health of the worker.

“…O exame físico é atingido de forma sistematizada, preferencialmente no sentido cefalocaudal, comum à revisão criteriosa de todas as frações corporais 17 . Identificou-se, ainda, que a maioria das queixas relatadas pelos profissionais da presente pesquisa e registradas em prontuário tem desfecho clínico que pode ser condizente com as condições sociais e de trabalho dos fumicultores, inclusive associando os fatores que favorecem o estresse térmico 18 . Assim, é necessário incluiressas informações nos prontuá-rios, uma vez que os sintomas são comuns a outras doenças, inclusive intoxicação por agrotóxicos ou nicotina.…”

ARTIGO ORIGINALRESUMO | Introdução: O estudo do perfil dos registros clínicos em prontuários de fumicultores favorece a discussão do estabelecimento do diagnóstico e do nexo causal com o trabalho. Objetivo: Identificar o perfil dos registros clínicos em prontuários de fumicultores. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo de campo e documental com abordagem quantitativados registros em 149 prontuários de fumicultores que frequentaram Unidades Básicas de Saúde da Família de comunidades rurais do município de Arapiraca, Alagoas, no período de 2008 a 2013. Resultados: Foi identificado que 66% dos usuários são do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 58,6 anos (desvio padrão -DP±16,4). As queixas clínicas mais expressivas registradas nos prontuários estavam relacionadas à cefaleia (16,71%), seguida por dor lombar (10,20%), disúria ou outros problemas urinários (8,90%) e epigastralgia (8,30%). Quanto aos diagnósticos médicos, destacaram-se gastrite/epigastralgia (15,1%), depressão (7,1%), ansiedade (7,1%), mialgia (7,1%) e artrite/artralgia (5,3%). A correlação das queixas clínicas como trabalho desenvolvido pelos fumicultores foi registrada em apenas um prontuário. Conclusão: O perfil clínico dos fumicultores apresentado nos prontuários poderia estar associado às condições sociais e de trabalho e inter-relacionado com a intoxicação por agrotóxicos e nicotina. Porém, a escassez de registros contextualizando o ambiente e os riscos ocupacionais torna limitante o nexo causal. Pela relevância do quadro clínico-ocupacional desses trabalhadores, faz-se necessária a melhoria dos registros, o que poderia justificar os sintomas apresentados levando em consideração as relações temporais entre a exposição e o desfecho.

ABSTRACT | Background:The study of the profile of medical records of tobacco farmers contributes to discussions on the establishment of diagnosis and its causal correlation with work. Objective: To investigate the profile of clinical information in medical records of tobacco farmers. Methods: The present was a descriptive field and documentary study, with quantitative approach, of 149 medical records of farmers who visited basic health units in rural communities in the municipality of Arapiraca, Alagoas, Brazil, from 2008 to 2013. Results: About 66% of the investigated population was female, with average age 58.6 years old (standard deviation -SD±16.4). The most significant clinical complaint found in the records was headache (16.71%), followed by low back pain (10.20%), dysuria or other urinary problems (8.90%) and epigastric pain (8.30%). Medical diagnoses included gastritis (15.1%), depression (7.1%), anxiety (7.1%), myalgia (7.1%) and arthritis/arthralgia (5.3%). Correlation between clinical complaints and work performed by tobacco farmers was registered in one single medical record. Conclusion: The clinical profile of tobacco farmers described in the medical records might be associated with their social and wor...

“…The surface temperature of the environment becomes much larger than that of the operator. According to Roscani et al (2017), exposure of the worker to heat combined with excessive physical exertion increases the risk of health hazards, and the normally uncomfortable clothing for this type of activity becomes an obstacle to the operator's heat exchanges with the environment.…”

Work in the field is characterized as unstructured because it is performed in inconvenient postures, without a fixed workstation, exposing the worker directly to the sun and other inclement weather. This may interfere in the health and the performance of the activity. The objective of this work was to characterize the environment of the agricultural microtractor operator, evaluating the thermal comfort during the activity in the municipality of Quixadá, CE. A model TC14 Super Yanmar Agritech microtractor, coupled to a rotary spindle, was used. For the measurements of the environmental variables, sensors and devices were installed on the operator and in the microtractor. The experimental design adopted the assumptions of statistical quality control. Fifteen collections were done daily at different times for three consecutive days. The data obtained were indices of thermal discomfort and thermography, both of which were analyzed by sequential graphs (run charts), control graph (Xbar-R chart), and scatter plot. At all rates, the work performed proved to be inadequate, exceeding the operator's capabilities and limitations. It was concluded that the activity performed by the microtractor operator is stressful. Measures should be taken to improve working conditions without affecting the operator's health.
