“… 16 , 18 The present study revealed that 76.2% of individuals were formally employed, though a CAT was only issued in 66% of cases. This finding underscores the problem of underreporting in the formal employment sector, since this document is only issued for workers covered by Work Accident Insurance (SAT) 27 . Workers exposed to this type of accident may suffer physical injuries and have high treatment costs, in addition to psychological issues such as emotional distress due to the possibility of contamination and transmission of illnesses to relatives.…”

Introduction: Work accidents involving biological material are characterized as those whose exposure involves direct or indirect contact with human or animal blood and biological fluids, with a potential degree of contamination. Objectives: To investigate the sociodemographic and occupational profile of workers, as well as data on occupational accidents with exposure to biological material in the municipalities that make up the Centro de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador da Região dos Vales do estado do Rio Grande do Sul (Cerest-Vales/RS). Methods: Documentary, retrospective, descriptive, quantitative research, where 1,260 Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (Sinan) notifications were analyzed, between 2014 and 2018. Data were collected in a unit specialized in worker health care. Results: The sex most affected by accidents was female, with 80.2% of cases, age group of 28 to 33 years (26.4%), and level of education represented mostly by complete high school (55.4%). Health professionals concentrated 84.1% of accidents, most of which occurred with nursing technicians, followed by nurses and doctors. Professionals from different occupations, such as veterinarians, students, janitors and garbage collectors were also exposed. Blood was the organic material that prevailed (81.1%) between accidents and exposure, percutaneous (70.3%). Clinical data revealed the prevalence of patients vaccinated for hepatitis B (90.6%), but 62.7% with (hepatitis B surface antigen, HBsAg) negative; 49.5% of the injured were discharged with a negative source patient and 66% the Comunicação de Acidente de Trabalho (CAT) issued. Conclusions: Accidents occurred more frequently among females, individuals with low education and health professionals. The weakness in the reports of accidents with professionals with no presumed risk is reiterated, which generates underreporting rates.

“…Individuals in absence from work due to illnesses face a constant struggle to prove the illness, which somehow questions their honesty due to the existing doubts [13]. Also, during the medical examinations, they are constantly questioned, as if it was their choice to be in such situation [14]. Therefore, the invisibility of this illness and its symptoms might generate questioning and doubts [13].…”

Introduction: Postural orientations are necessary in cases of low back pain, and challenges arise in chronic cases. Objective: To investigate the challenges in the postural orientation of workers in a situation of absence from work and with chronic low back pain. Methods: The study was divided into two steps. In the first stage, physiotherapists that were taking part in the “Low Back Pain Project” at the Reference Center for Worker’s Health in Santos-SP were invited, and a script was used to conduct individual interviews that were recorded for thematic content analysis. In the second stage, there was a selection of workers that were patients attended by the Physical Therapy sector, with chronic low back pain and in a situation of absence from work, and a Discussion Group was conducted with the patients and physical therapists, which was also recorded for content analysis. Results: In stage 1, three physiotherapists aged 26 to 33 years old participated. The statements revealed: intense work demands, little understanding of the patients’ difficulties, “stigmas” related to the situation of absence from work, among others. In stage 2, fourteen workers participated, aged between 47 and 50, of both sexes and different professions along with the three physiotherapists. The group evidenced: difficulties in daily living activities outside the therapeutic environment, disrespect to physical restrictions at work, fear of returning to work, among others. Conclusion: Challenges related to work organization aspects and psychosocial issues were found, and it is necessary to advance in the teaching-learning processes.
